We had quite a lively debate on the first night of our Quantum to Cosmos Festival programs from the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Ontario.
Our panelists, from astronaut Chris Hadfield to Donna Shirley, former manager of NASA's Mars Exploration Program were arguing whether it made better sense to attempting to colonize the Moon or Mars. The Moon may win out, according to the latest breaking news from NASA today -- last month's crash of a satellite on the south pole of the Moon did indeed find water.
Water is the key to being able to sustain humans outside our own planet. It may sound far-fetched, but you probably won't think so after watching our debate "Are we Bound for Space?"
