Stories from the people preparing for life on Mars.
Because we believe the future of space exploration is a human story, most Aspiring Martians episodes focus on the lives of ordinary people who feel drawn toward Mars.
Scientists, engineers, artists, students, parents, and dreamers who are shaping their lives around the possibility of leaving Earth behind. These conversations explore motivation, doubt, preparation, and the hopes people carry for the future. Not just on Mars, but back on Earth as well.
Alongside these personal stories, Aspiring Martians also features special monthly series that take a closer look at daily life on Mars and the places on Earth where that life is already being practiced.
