In this talk based on his latest book “Space 2069” Dr David Whitehouse outlines the major themes of human space exploration to 2069 – the 100th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. What are the plans to return to the Moon, and are they feasible? How and where would we build a moon base and what will its role be in further exploration? What about Mars? What’s the planet like and could we survive the journey? David will also describe the process of writing a book about space.
