Opening Times

Sorry, this event has passed

After his sell out talk on the ESA's Rosetta Mission, Dr John Ellwood (consultant to ESA on the Mars programme) will take us on a new journey - to the planet Mars.

Many nations have tried to get to the red planet, but few have succeeded. John's talk will describe these endeavours, beginning with NASA's successful Mariner 4 mission in 1964 to ESA's present EXOMARS project, scheduled for 2020, which hopes to find definitive evidence of life in this hostile environment.

Elon Musk's dream of starting a Martian colony of a million people within the next 100 years will also be discussed: what are the technical challenges, and why would we want to go there?

John will give some insights into why we must eventually become a multi-planetary species.

This is a Flavel Fundraising Event.
