How will we live on mars?

Can we go back to the moon?


With Elon Musk pushing forward new plans for SpaceX including the Starship, the BFR, and reusable rockets in an effort to lower launch costs. As well as Jeff Bezos space company Blue Origin near term plans like New Glenn and the Blue Moon lander, as well as their long term plans for space habitats using O’Neill cylinders. The conversation of just how we will go back to the moon and who will live on mars? Is starting to happen in earnest. What is Blue Origin? How will it help us get back to the moon. What are space’s mars colonization plans, does Elon Musk want to build a city on mars? Will Elon Musk live on mars?


John Michael Godlier spoke with Dr. Robert Zubrin about that and the beginnings of our space program, from the Apollo moon missions to NASA’s new Artemis moon gateway programs and more.
