Listen to Audio Recording of Mars Society/Planetary Society Capitol Hill Forum

The Mars Society, together with the Planetary Society, held a special forum yesterday on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. to discuss the current crisis facing America’s space program.  Entitled “NASA at a Turning Point: Vibrant Future or Close Up Shop”, the discussion focused on the severe challenges facing NASA’s space exploration, space astronomy and human spaceflight programs.

Participating in the mid-day program were four prominent space policy experts – Dr. Robert Zubrin, Mars Society President, Prof. Jim Bell, Planetary Society President, Prof. Scott Hubbard, former Director of NASA Ames Research Center, and Dr. Heidi Hammel, Executive Vice President of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy.
