The upcoming International Astronautical Congress (IAC) — to be held in Guadalajara, Mexico September 26-30 — has announced that, for the first time in IAC history, all Plenary Events are to be live broadcasted.
For those eagerly awaiting the talk by SpaceX’s Elon Musk, his one-hour talk “Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species” will air on Tuesday, September 27th at 13:30 – 14:30 (local time in Guadalajara).
Architectures for colonizing Mars
Musk will discuss the long-term technical challenges that need to be solved to support the creation of a permanent, self-sustaining human presence on Mars. The technical presentation will focus on potential architectures for colonizing the Red Planet that industry, government and the scientific community can collaborate on in the years ahead.

Hi Leonard,
How have you been? Thank you for this info.
Just wanted to ask if the time zone you put for the broadcast is PST? Have a blast, this will be so interesting.

Guadalajara is on Central Daylight time at the moment, so I assumed the given time was their local time. So yes, I would like it if Mr. David can clear this up as well.
Thanks for the messages on the exact time of the Musk talk – I’ve contacted the IAC for clarification and will post an update on the time.

All times are local time according to my IAC response.
