Sending Humans to Mars!
Dr. Joel S. Levine, a current William & Mary professor and a retired NASA Senior Research Scientist and Mars Scout Program Scientist, provided a fascinating lecture on how the United States is preparing for the human exploration of Mars. Dr. Levine also recognized several CIAO members (Emedio Bracalente - Brac; John Findlay; Ed Generazio) that worked with him at NASA describing their collective contributions to the U.S. space program. It was a ‘cosmic’ and engaging afternoon. Thank you, Dr. Levine!
