报告简介：
On March 2017, with this sentence, the US Congress mandated NASA to take us humans on Mars.
The statement is not a big surprise nowadays, as the technology is having giant leaps forward, but are we ready for it?
Humans will have to sustain huge amount of radiations and they will stay virtually isolated or in close contact with few other individuals for almost three years or more. How to provide the necessary food, oxygen and water? How will we deal with the inevitable sudden decline of physical performances due to low gravity and radiation? And the psychological consequences of living in a small community of elite people? How will robotic probes, satellites’ swarms and AI on board help the Terrans on Mars?
Many questions arise very quickly and can get an answer only inside a wide multidisciplinary community, and in particular inside a university, where the students that will help answering them could become the first Terrans on Mars.
