Nate Stewart | The Difficulties Of Getting To Mars!

Published 29th March 2020

Episode 73 features Nate Stewart. Nate is an Operations Planning Flight Controller at NASA's Johnson Space Center. The content of the episode does not represent the opinions of NASA or the United States government. It is solely the beliefs and opinions of Nate Stewart.

For decades, it has been a goal of the US government to put American astronauts on Martian soil. Why have we been unable to reach any of our predicted timelines? What technology do we lack? Where have we failed? Before a successful mission to Mars is executed, we must understand what technological innovations are necessary. Nate breaks down where we need to improve before we can feasibly move forward.
