RESEARCH TUESDAYS: Space Makers - online presentation

Reflecting the current environment, this special presentation of Research Tuesdays will be an online seminar.

Space exploration of any kind is difficult. Doing it for extended periods with human crews is a challenge beyond imagining. Something that would help immeasurably, however, would be the ability to identify and extract resources and use them to manufacture fresh stocks of life- and mission-critical items—in situ on distant celestial bodies.
