Your Kids may live on Mars......TED Talk


Was fascinated by this TED Talk. Just listened to it, but is from 2015. So actually if what Mr Petranek predicted in 2015 would happen in 20 years, it's now 17 years away.

It sounds like science fiction, but journalist Stephen Petranek considers it fact: within 20 years, humans will live on Mars. In this provocative talk, Petranek makes the case that humans will become a spacefaring species and describes in fascinating detail how we'll make Mars our next home. "Humans will survive no matter what happens on Earth," Petranek says. "We will never be the last of our kind."
