Abstract
What could be more futuristic on Earth than to discuss about mankind’s possibility to become a multiplanetary species in the universe? Tech visionaries like Elon Musk claim that it would become possible to send 1 million people to planet Mars within the next 2 decades. In response to this, 40 researchers, representing multidisciplinary fields from astronomy, biology, engineering, medicine, law, economy, AI, politics to humanities, have recently published a book that critically and constructively reviews the current visions on colonization of Mars. Dr. Natuschka Lee, one of the contributing researchers, will present a summary of this book and initiate discussions from various perspectives.
