MARS: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

Mars has been studied via spacecraft over the past 60 years, giving scientists a better understanding of the planet and its history. However, we have yet to discover life on Mars. What are the chances there was life there in the past? And is it possible to find evidence of past life, such as fossils? Join our talk with NASA Ambassador Charity Southworth on what Mars was like billions of years ago, highlighting discoveries made via space missions and what the future of Mars missions may look like.
