When we eventually go to Mars - will we take cows with us?

I caught up with a fellow Aussie with a huge interest in Mars - Dr. Dianne McGrath. We spoke in-depth all about how we could potentially live on Mars answering the fundamental question - will we be able to take cows with us?

You'll be surprised by the answer!

In this very special focus on Mars, I got a chance to speak with Jon Clarke the President of the Mars Society Australia.

Yep. You heard right.

We have our very own Mars society, unique to Australia linked to the larger Mars Society and part of a world-wide group of associations - all founded by Robert Zubrin in 1997. The Mars Society has links to almost every space agency in the world and boasts one of the most iconic members - Elon Musk.

In May 2020, I was invited to a launch party during COVID-19 lockdown with Australia’s very own Space Family - Australia Space Launch.

In September 2020, I interviewed Nick Green the CEO of PFi Aerospace.

This is the extended interview originally played for the Space Association of Australia September 2020 meeting.

MARCH 2020: Australia has a very surprising history in Space. We have been involved in the Space business for a very long time.

Products for Industry have developed a hybrid rocket engine which can be fired on school grounds - sounds nuts right?!?! It isn't. This video walks through what Nick Green, the General Manager of Defence and Aerospace for PFI, has been working on to get kids excited about space and the science which lies behind it.

(12 April 2019) The formation of the Australian Space Agency got me thinking...has Australia been involved in the space industry? What have we done? Turns out, we have been supporting deep space missions in this country since 1962.
