Bas Lansdorp, Netherlands
What’s it like to start a global movement to send humans to Mars—permanently? This week, I speak with Bas Lansdorp, founder of Mars One, about what inspired the mission, how it captured imaginations around the world, and what he learned along the way. From bold beginnings to tough lessons, it’s a conversation about risk, vision, and keeping Mars in our collective future.
