1. Robotic vs Human Exploration
The Astronomy and Planetary Science Club presents
Mars:
Robotic vs Human Exploration
As we settle into the 21st Century, it seems that Mars is to be the new space race. So far, our robotic ambassadors have been flying out on ambitious missions to take photos and gather information, but for how long should we rely on them?
Natasha Nicholson and Rosie Cane, PhD students from the UK Centre for Astrobiology, will discuss the pros and cons of sending humans to the surface of another planet, where only rovers and probes have gone before
Natasha Nicholson is researching gravity’s
effect on communities of rock-mining bacteria.
Rosie Cane is studying the effect of
multiple extremes, such as temperature
and acidity, on bacterial life.
