Join us this Sunday, either in person or online, as we watch and discuss three videos about life on Mars. Will we go to Mars? Can we really live on Mars? Was there already life on Mars?

First, Elon Musk talks about SpaceX’s ambitious Mars goals in a company update at Starbase in a 9-minute video from last May 30, Elon Musk shares ‘tentative’ Mars game plan in SpaceX update at Starbase.

Then, on his Instagram account AstroKobi, Kobi Brown asks if going to Mars is even desirable in a 17-minute video from May 27, Should We Really Go To Mars? (with Bill Nye).

Finally, AstroKobi’s Kobi Brown will give a report on new evidence from NASA JPL that there has been life on Mars in a 14-minute video from just last week. The video is NASA Probably Just Found Life On Mars.
