Today we will have another show about science and space exploration. This is the second part of our conversation with Dr. Pascal Lee, co-founder and chairman of the Mars institute, principal investigator of the Haughton-Mars Project at NASA Ames Research Center and Lead Planetary Scientist at the SETI institute. The first part to be found here: Space the Final Frontier – part I.

Dr. Pascal Lee, researching the future for Mars exploration

We will talk today about the accuracy of the movie “Tthe Martian”, and his friendship with the author of the book and his opinions about the book and the research behind it. We will also talk about NASA’s policy on research, innovation and exploration for the next years. We will hear about the possibility that the Kepler Spacecraft may have observed traces of an advanced alien life on other solar systems, and more topics related to space and research.
