A Blueprint For Colonizing Outer Space

This composite image made from a series of Jan. 23, 2018 photos shows a self-portrait of NASA's Curiosity Mars rover on Vera Rubin Ridge.

Dr. Michio Kaku is planning for life on mars. In his new book The Future of Humanity: Terraforming Mars, Interstellar Travel, Immortality and Our Destiny Beyond Earth, Kaku details the process by which humanity may gradually move away from the planet and develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. He explores how humans would need to leave Earth, how long it would take, and what we would need to adapt Mars for human life.

This segment is guest hosted by Kai Wright.
