How can we accomplish the goal of establishing the first permanent settlement on Mars? Besides the obvious technological difficulties, the realities of raising the large sum of money required to undertake the effort need to be addressed. What methods can be leveraged by a non-profit and which can be leveraged by a for-profit corporation? Is there a way to engage the public in the Mars settlement effort, partially funding it and helping to drive if forward? Join us to discuss these issues, and to find out how you can get involved in helping us resolve them.
