2010 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate: Moon, Mars, and Beyond - Manned Spaceflight
Central to the subject of human spaceflight are the issues that relate to science, launch hardware, international competition, national security, shrinking budgets, and political will. Our panel will debate the viability of the manned space program within these contexts and explore where to prioritize our resources.
