In this podcast episode, we’re focussing on the subject of the exploration and colonisation of Mars, which is part of our overall theme for our forthcoming Digital Art Live magazine issue 8. We’ll feature artwork on the colonisation of space .

In this session we learn:-

– What is the Mars society and why it was formed
– How concept illustrations have helped in some of the Mars society projects
– What are the two most significant barriers in getting humans to Mars.
– Is it easier to colonise the moon rather than Mars?
