Mars Biologist Dr Scott Solomon Reveals Why A Child Born On Mars May Never Come Home To Earth, How We've Already Created Alien Life In Space, And The One Thing That Decides If We Survive On Mars That No One Is Funding.

Mars biologist Dr Scott Solomon has spent over a decade studying what will physically happen to the first humans who leave Earth, and he says we're rushing toward Mars while ignoring the questions that matter most. He reveals why a child raised in one-third gravity may have a skeleton that Earth's gravity would crush if they ever returned, why bacteria found on the International Space Station are no longer known to exist on Earth, and why human reproduction, the single biggest obstacle to colonising Mars, is the one thing almost no one will fund.

Dr Scott Solomon is an evolutionary biologist at Rice University, a Smithsonian Research Associate, and the author of 'Becoming Martian: How Living in Space Will Change Our Bodies and Minds'. His work explores human evolution and where our species is heading next.

In this conversation, Scott and Jacob discuss:

  • Why a child born on Mars may never be able to survive a trip back to Earth
  • How bacteria on the Space Station may already have evolved into the first 'aliens'
  • Why a Mars-born immune system could be killed by Earth's everyday germs
  • How Mars radiation could accelerate human evolution into a new species
  • Why NASA won't fund the research that decides if we can colonise Mars
