Space Studies Board to Look at "Grand Questions" of Space Science and Exploration
The Space Studies Board (SSB) of the National Research Council (NRC) will hold a workshop at the NRC’s Beckman Center in Irvine, CA in November to look at “Grand Questions” of space science and exploration and how to share the “adventure” with the public.
From November 8-10, 2010 at a meeting that is free and open to the public, the SSB workshop will explore the relationships between the five Grand Questions and the space research program and “how ro convey the value and excitement to the public.” The questions are:
- How did the universe begin and how is it evolving?
- Are we alone?
- How did the solar system begin and how is it evolving?
- Will the Earth remain a hospitable home for humanity in the future?
- What could the future hold for humans in space?
