As we move toward lunar bases, Martian settlements and eventually space cities, one truth becomes increasingly clear: the greatest challenges ahead may not be technological: they may be human.
We know how to build rockets. We are learning how to build habitats. But how do we build emotionally resilient crews, functional family systems in extreme environments, ethical medical frameworks beyond Earth, and psychological safety in isolated, high-risk settlements?
A moderated fireside dialogue with audience Q&A, working through six themes: from missions to settlements, mental health in extreme communities, family systems and interplanetary relationships, medical and human performance evolution, AI and cognition, and ethics and responsible expansion.
Moderated by Jason Michaud. The full question set is on the series page.
