The Future of Space

Robert Zubrin is one of the most important rocket scientists of his generation, who helped found the Mars Society globally, influenced a younger Elon Musk to found SpaceX, and stemmed much of the Mars activism by his proposals to the George Bush Snr administration. His books include The Case for Space, The Case for Mars, and Mars Direct.

Dr Zubrin speaks all over the world to technical and lay audiences on space, Mars, rocketry and cultivating the next generation of scientists and engineers. Together we discuss the recent NASA budget cuts, why human spaceflight is still so important, optimism and hope about Mars and inspiring the next generation.

PHILOSOPHY
Dr Alex Carter is Associate Professor for Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of Cambridge, Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) where he oversees all courses in philosophy and creativity theory. He is also a Fellow and College Lecturer at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge University. He gained his PhD in Philosophy by the University of Essex in 2015.
Alex was my tutor for my final year at Cambridge and we have remained friends ever since. Always eager to support his students' ongoing projects, he joins me for a chat about philosophy, higher education, lifelong learning, living and working near Wittgenstein's grave, and why critical thinking matters so much.
