140 million miles away never felt closer.
Stories from the edge of possibility, from the people preparing to call Mars home.
Government on Mars
with Dr. Kelly Weinersmith
This month’s Everyday Mars tackles one of the biggest questions any future settlement will face: how do you actually govern a colony on Mars? To help us explore that, Joe sits down with Dr. Kelly Weinersmith, biologist, researcher, and co-author of the brilliant (and brutally honest) book A City on Mars. Together, they dive into the political, social, and delightfully weird realities of building a functioning government on the Red Planet.
From dreamers to doers — here are their stories.
