How does the Earth and Mars share a common past? What does their
shared future hold? How have some of the incredible technological
developments for the Martian missions already been applied on Earth in
industry, the environment, and even archaeology. The night will
involve lots of images and fresh scientific results, especially those
obtained by scientists working with the NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers
mission.
Come along, bring your questions about the NASA's Mars Exploration
Rovers mission, and join in the discussion with Dr de Souza and Dr
Joel Gilmore. Guests are welcome to purchase drinks at the bar
throughout the evening.
