Listen "Planetary Protection, Mars and the Search for Life"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Nathalie Cabrol, Director of the SETI Institute's Carl Sagan Center, joins us live from the Global Exploration Summit in Portugal. Last week Cabrol was co-author on a comment published in Nature Astronomy that explored the implications and potential scientific impacts on increased activity on Mars, specifically, human-crewed missions. How will the presence of people on Mars affect the search for past or present life and what planetary protection measures will be required to protect the integrity of scientific research as well as life here on Earth when crews return? Hosted by Dr. Simon Steel, Deputy Director of the SETI Institute's Carl Sagan Center. about the comment at seti.org: https://bit.ly/43WGnNU Recorded 13 June 2023.
