Would you leave behind your family, friends, and familiar surroundings to risk your life on a three-year, round-trip voyage to Mars? In Facing Mars, you have the chance to answer this question twice: as you enter the exhibition and again as you exit. While exploring each of the 28, thought-provoking exhibits, take the opportunity to reflect on your initial answer and some of the ethical questions about human exploration of Mars.

Should we even go to Mars? Are we ready as a species - will it be a global affair, a corporate venture or an expression of nationalism? Will humans go to Mars for scientific or financial gain? You can actively explore some of the thornier questions about life - and death - in space.
