Human Colonisation of Space: The past, present and future

Once only the stuff of science-fiction, recent advances in technology – and our concerns about the long-term habitability of Planet Earth – have made the colonisation of space not just realistic, but maybe even essential. In this thought-provoking talk, Leigh Edwards from Exeter u3a will look at the challenges humanity faces in travelling and living beyond the confines of our home planet. He’ll cover the options for establishing colonies beyond the Earth, and the possibility and challenges of creating sustainable Earth-independent societies.
