Audience discussion of the raising of the first children on Mars or elsewhere in space. What ethical questions arise from proposing to raise children in a (possibly) unsafe environment? What physical support is needed? What kind of robotics and remote assistance will be needed from Earth? What is the minimum satisfactory number of adults and children? Is a nuclear family the best family model? Finally - what impact will this have on our society here on Earth?
