Abstract The presence of gravity on Earth has had an integral effect on the development of life over billions of years and has shaped the anatomy and physiology of human beings. Exposure to microgravity has been shown to affect the whole body, causing numerous changes, such as a reduction in heart size and blood volume, Read More
Abstract The space industry presents new challenges with the involvement of diverse individuals, particularly concerning extended isolation. Reports from astronauts and studies during analogue missions highlight isolation as a significant stressor, intensified during long missions like those to Mars. Hence, exploring restorative stimuli is vital to alleviate psychosocial stressors that could affect mission success. In September Read More
Abstract The renewed global interest in lunar exploration marks a significant milestone in humanity's pursuit of space. This presentation will delve into the various international efforts aimed at returning to the Moon, highlighting the collaborative and competitive dynamics shaping this new era of space exploration.

Abstract Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) are abundant with minerals that would be undoubtedly beneficial for future space exploration, as the utilization of these in-space resources could enable otherwise unaffordable missions. However, retrieving these resources and making the missions profitable are challenging. This research will tell people which to mine, when to mine, how to retrieve, and Read More
Abstract In this presentation Dr. Hammond will begin with an overarching overview of the space exploration landscape from the 2020s to 2050 and beyond. An essential element of this landscape is a Moon-to-Mars Architecture which is promulgated and kept up to date by NASA. He will explain six key questions: Why we go, Who we Read More

Abstract The 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations represent noble aspirations that would change the world, if achieved. In this webinar, the Human Space Program (HSP) team will discuss a proposed HSP simulation model, a computer-based tool for investigation of the implications of migration of human civilization into space. This model can Read More
Abstract Haroon Oqab will give us a detailed view of Kepler Space University. KSU is dedicated to the expansion of human civilization from Earth into space. We believe this is necessary, both to acquire resources – based on the Law of Space Abundance to provide the fundamental needs of preserving peace and prosperity for humankind Read More
