We explored the topic of risk and discussed what steps must be taken next to continue towards the objective of putting people on the Red Planet.

The WeMartians Podcast delves into all aspects of the exploration of Mars, including robotic/human spacecraft and rocket engineering, planetary science, astronomy and other upcoming technology. The episodes are research-supported and feature topical audio clips and special guests.
