How long is long enough? Join this session to tell us how long you think is enough or not enough time for astronauts to spend at Mars on the first human missions to the Red Planet. Experts in human health and performance, human-rated space systems, and Mars analogs will begin this interactive discussion to provide up-front facts. The majority of the time is reserved to hear from you – from your expert, personal, and cultural perspectives.
