Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions

Mars Settlement, a Minimum One-Way Program
Bruce Mackenzie, Mars Foundation
Jan. 29th,   Monday  12 noon – 1 pm
Will show a proposal for a very small, relatively inexpensive
manufacturing base for Mars. It starts with just 2 people, and can
grow into a permanent human settlement; a draft design in progress by
the Mars Foundation.

Internships on Mars
Jan. 29th,  Monday  4 pm – 5 pm
Interested in an internship on the subject of Mars, or  other ways you
can help settlement of space?
This will be an informal discussion of (mostly volunteer) internships
with various non-profit space activist organizations, including the
National Space Society, Mars Society, Moon Society, and Mars
Foundation; and how they might fit your academic and career plans.
Meetings at other times can be arranged.

Overview of Hillside Mars Settlement
Feb. 1st, Thursday,   7pm – 9pm
This “Hillside Settlement” proposal by the Mars Foundation would build
a permanent settlement on Mars, constructed by 12 people from local
materials such as fiberglass and masonry. Preliminary mass and cost
estimates show that we may be able to establish a permanent, growing
settlement for the same launch cost as a program of round-trip
exploratory missions. Members of National Space Society are invited.

Raising the First Children in Space
Feb. 2nd, Friday  12 noon – 1 pm
Open discussion of the safety and ethics of raising children at an
early settlement on Mars or other frontier location.
