This Week In Space podcast: Episode 122 — No City on Mars? | Space

No City on Mars? – A Debate on Human Expansion and the Popular New Book, ‘A City on Mars’ – Watch On YouTube

On Episode 122 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik talk with Dale Skran, COO and SVP of the National Space Society, and video producer Isaac Arthur about the realistic prospects for space settlement.

It’s been said that Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids, and that’s certainly the assertion of the popular 2023 book, “A City on Mars” by Kelly and Zack Weinersmith. In fact, they question the future of settling humans off Earth in its entirety. Certainly, it will be challenging, but is it impossible? Are there reasons we should not go?

We gathered together two of our favorite experts on the topic to discuss the book and our prospects for rational, realistic plans. Join us!
