Big Ideas
The New Golden Age of Space Exploration

Humans are heading back to the moon…and this time, they have plans to stay. National and international space agencies, and private enterprise, are joining forces with the goal of establishing a permanent lunar base that could serve as a training ground and stepping stone for human exploration of Mars. In the next two decades, probes will reach every planet in our solar system, and a new generation of telescopes will answer some of the most fundamental questions in cosmology, including whether planets elsewhere in our galaxy can sustain life. Brian Greene is joined by leading scientists – Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s former head scientist; Aude Vignelles, Chief Technology Officer of the Australia Space Agency; Masaki Fujimoto, Deputy Director of the Japan Space Exploration Agency and Kirsten MacDonnell of the European Space Agency’s Directorate of Human and Robotic Exploration – to explore this new Golden Age of Space Exploration. This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation. The live program was presented at the 2023 World Science Festival Brisbane, hosted by the Queensland Museum.
