Polymath World # 5 - Dr Robert Zubrin

Polymath World Channel

The Future of Space

Robert Zubrin is one of the most important rocket scientists of his generation, who helped found the Mars Society globally, influenced a younger Elon Musk to found SpaceX, and stemmed much of the Mars activism by his proposals to the George Bush Snr administration. His books include The Case for Space, The Case for Mars, and Mars Direct.

Dr Zubrin speaks all over the world to technical and lay audiences on space, Mars, rocketry and cultivating the next generation of scientists and engineers. Together we discuss the recent NASA budget cuts, why human spaceflight is still so important, optimism and hope about Mars and inspiring the next generation.
