Meeting Basic Needs on Mars

Currently, future space trips are only reserved for the super-rich and mostly purely for pleasure, but what if the technology used for this could be used as a solution for humanity in a worst-case scenario. Therefore what if for some reason we were able to colonize Mars due to these spacecraft technologies? Our podcast is centred around the idea: ‘What if humans colonized Mars?’. In the podcast, Claire interviews four experts in different fields regarding living on mars: establishing an atmosphere, a food-production system, shelter and living spaces, and preparing for socio-economic challenges that may arise.

A New Governance System on Mars

Join a conversation led by three students, right before the first humans step on Mars, on what the new governance system should look like on the red planet. They introduce the concept of citizen participation as the potential of becoming the primary means of governance and with it the opportunities it holds. Nevertheless, they also take a critical lense on the pitfalls and challenges this new system entails, such as how do they ensure everyone is included in the process, and all voices are heard? How could the inhabitants of Mars benefit from citizen participation, and could planet Earth also learn from it? Listen to this podcast to gain insights into all these questions.
