How does science fiction influence technology evolution, and vice-versa? How do we measure and perceive time and location when we are traveling in space? What are the engineering challenges we’ve begun to address for time and extended space travel, including quantum devices, growing food and medicine in space, and establishing permanent bases on the moon and Mars? Please join us for discussions of these exciting topics!
*The registration cost is $25 for students/postdocs and $50 for faculty/others.
