The Humans to Mars Summit wrapped up this week in Washington, D.C. It’s a yearly meeting of the minds to chat all things Mars and what it’s going to take to get people there.

It included panels of folks talking all things space from mission architecture to social media. NASA’s new administrator Jim Bridenstine spoke about his vision of human space exploration.

Laura Forczyk is the founder of Astralytical a space consulting firm. She kept a watchful eye on the summit and joins the program to let us know just how we're going to get to Mars.
