"Mars the only planet we know of inhabited solely by Robots."

- NASA

Dr Ben Weiss, Robert R. Shrock Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, MIT, presents, The Search for Life on Mars with the Perseverance Rover Mission. Dr Weiss is coming to Boise all the way from MIT to share the amazing Perseverance Mars Rover Mission to Search for Life on Mars.  This is a great opportunity for the general public to hear directly from a thought leader in the Space Industry.  

Mars is sometimes referred to as the "Robot Planet" as it is the only Planet in our Solar System completely and solely inhabited by Robots but may soon be visited by humans for the first time in history.  This event is the first in our three part series in 2025, with Caltech sharing the wonders of Black Holes in May and NASA leading our first Northwest Interplanetary Life event in October.

We are passionate about sharing the amazing growth and opportunities in the Space Exploration Industry with the general public and aspiring explorers of all ages.
