The night sky has long piqued human interest and imagination towards exploration and the notion of worlds beyond our own. Spinning an inexhaustible yarn of fascination, determination, and adventure, space exploration allows tantalizing answers to probing questions about the fundamental laws of the universe, challenges and solves persistent mysteries about our earthbound home, and stimulates collaboration among nations. Experts on this panel will lead listeners on another kind of exploration, looking into investment in new space technologies, commercial space travel and likely availability to non-professional space travelers, and the next era of space exploration.
