- Are We Bound For Space?



The Debate: Are We Bound For Space?



April 12, 1961: Yuri Gagarin becomes the first person to leave earth and travel into space. But in the near half-century
since that day, only 500 others have taken that special voyage. Is that now about to change? Do problems here on earth
mean we should start thinking about a new home in outer space? 



Guests:



Chris Hadfield is a Canadian astronaut, engineer, and pilot. He has made two
space flights--one in 1995 and one in 2001--and he is currently training for a future stay on the International Space
Station.



Chris McKay is a planetary scientist with the Space Science Division of NASA
Ames. His research focuses on the evolution of the solar system and the origin of life. He is playing a significant role

for future human exploration of the Moon and Mars.



Bob Richards is the founder and CEO of Odyssey Moon Ltd., a commercial lunar
enterprise based in the Isle of Man, and the first official registrant in the $30M Google Lunar X Prize competition. He

lidar scanner flown in space.

Laboratory, and the author of the book Managing Martians. She managed the team that built Sojourner, the Microrover,
which was landed by the highly successful Mars Pathfinder project on the surface of Mars in 1997.



Lawrence Krauss is an internationally known theoretical physicist and author of
several bestselling books including The Physics of Star Trek. His research interests include the interface between
elementary particle physics and cosmology. He writes regularly for various newspapers and magazines, and appears

Quantum to Cosmos: Ideas for the Future (Q2C)



FOR 10 EXCITING DAYS THIS OCTOBER, Perimeter Institute's Quantum to Cosmos: Ideas for the Future (Q2C) will take a
global audience from the strange world of subatomic particles to the outer frontiers of the universe. All events will
occur on-site in Waterloo, Ontario and online at q2cfestival.com and TVO.org.



Q2C's extensive program features more than 50 events - including panel discussions, keynote presentations, special
screenings, exhibits including the full-scale model of the next Mars Rover (named Curiosity), and recorded sessions with
Honorary Festival President Professor Stephen Hawking.



Q2C will transcend traditional festivals by streaming events live and on demand, offering virtual interaction with
exhibits, and providing special opportunities for students and teachers.



THE AGENDA WITH STEVE PAIKIN will be broadcasting live for 5 nights from
Perimeter Institute in Waterloo. The themes that The Agenda is planning to explore in these programs include:





* Monday, October 19 - Plan B: Colonize Space?

Stephen Hawking thinks it's a good idea, given the multiple problems facing earth. Can we imagine a human future off
earth?

* Tuesday, October 20 - Does/Does Not Compute

So you think technology controls your life now? From nanotechnology to quantum computing, what the future has in store. 
  

* Wednesday, October 21 - Designer Genetics

The legal, social, and medical implications of trying to engineer humans without defects.    

* Thursday, October 22 - Robotics

Artificial Intelligence, evolution, and the man/machine interface.    

* Friday, October 23 - The Importance of Science

Do we still believe that science is the path to progress and a better life?
