Subject:

With a recent moon landing and plans for ambitious Mars launches, U.S. space exploration is accelerating rapidly. Private companies are assisting NASA and paving the way for dramatic new discoveries of the solar system. With knowledge gained from these ventures, several countries such as China, India, and a European consortium are hoping to make manned launches to Mars and the moon within the next few years. 

On May 2, as part of the fifteenth annual A. Alfred Taubman Forum on Public Policy, join Governance Studies at Brookings for a forum on plans to explore Mars and the moon. Leaders from NASA will join Senior Fellow Darrell West to discuss new directions in space exploration, the role of private companies, and the hopes and challenges for continued ventures in space.
