About The Event
Get ready for a thrilling journey to the Red Planet! Dr. Robert Zubrin—legendary aerospace engineer, bestselling author, and fearless champion of human Mars exploration—is coming to UCCS to spark our imaginations and challenge our sense of what’s possible. He’ll take us beyond today’s Earth-bound perspective and show how we can actually send humans to Mars using smart, cost-effective strategies like his famed Mars Direct plan, where rocket fuel is made right on Mars and bold pioneers become the architects of a new world. Expect big ideas about space exploration, Martian settlement, the future of humanity among the stars, and why Mars matters more than ever—all delivered with Zubrin’s signature passion for adventure and innovation
