Join us on Tuesday, March 18 at 5pm PT for an extraordinary journey into the future of space exploration on Red Planet Live. Hosted by Ashton Zeth, this special episode brings together the visionary leadership of the Mars Society’s Mars Desert Research Station, located near Hanksville, Utah.
In an engaging conversation, Executive Director James Burk, Director of MDRS Sergii Iakymov, and Director of Refits Kay Radzik will share the insights and experiences garnered from over twenty years of groundbreaking research and immersive training.
