NASA's Discoveries & the Future of Space Exploration

The desire of 18^th-century Americans like Washington to know the land to the west—the makeup of the soil, the sources of water, the topography and terrain—are surprisingly similar to the kinds of questions humanity is exploring today on the surface of Mars and elsewhere in the solar system.

Join Dr. Green in a conversation about NASA’s latest discoveries, the future of space exploration, and how our efforts to understand our universe relate to our shared history.

Attend in Person or Watch Live Thursday, October 14 at 7 pm ET / 4 pm PT
