Life On Mars

Is there life on Mars? We’ve been asking the question for centuries, but could clues in Western Australia’s Pilbara soon gives us answers? Join a panel of NASA scientists and astrophysicists as they discuss all things Mars.

How will people live on the red planet? Is there already simple life there? Will Mars be a base for humanity one day stepping out into the galaxy? Do we have galactic neighbours?

Graham Phillips [ABC’s catalyst] will lead this panel of leading Australian and International scientists to give you answers.
