The future is Mars. For thousands of years, our ancestors have looked up in the sky, seen a red dot, and wondered what was on it. With our technology today, we are actually capable of travelling there. From news articles about SpaceX's BFR to the 2015 sci-fi movie 'The Martian', it is evident that the topic of sending people to Mars is attracting worldwide attention. As the plans we have for colonising Mars will take place in our lifetimes, I want to remind people why we are going there in the first place. I will also talk about the risks and challenges that will come along, and what we could ultimately learn and take from such an ambitious goal like going to Mars. . This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
