One Way Trips to Mars: Science Friday Interviews Lawrence Krauss

NPR’s Science Friday interviewed Lawrence Krauss yesterday. He is the author of the provocative New York Times op-ed arguing for sending astronauts on one-way trips to Mars. His premise is that historically people traveled to new lands with no expectation of returning home and this should be no different. It would save money and one need not worry about their surviving the damaging health effects of cosmic radiation. Dr. Krauss is author of The Physics of “Star Trek,” and Director of the Origins Institute at Arizona State University.
