Becoming Martian: How Living in Space Will Change Our Bodies and Minds
Join The Explorers Club on November 9th to learn about the surprising effects of space habitation on the human body. Plans are underway to build a base on the Moon, to be followed by a settlement on Mars. But what will happen to the human occupants of these outposts… and their descendants? Could children born on other worlds return to Earth? Would future generations adapt to the conditions of their home planet and evolve into a new species? Join Scott Solomon, an evolutionary biologist, professor, and science communicator for a discussion of how space affects the human body and mind and the ways in which humanity’s migration into space could challenge the very definition of what it means to be human. In-person tickets are $20 for Members, and $35 for the General Public. Check-in will begin at 6:00 pm, with a beer and wine reception from 6:00 – 7:00 pm Click here to learn more.
