Simulating the Expansion of Human Civilization via Large-Scale Space Migration

The Beyond Earth Institute is excited to present “Simulating the Expansion of Human Civilization via Large-Scale Space Migration.” 

The webinar will explore system dynamics simulation modeling as a comprehensive method for evaluating different approaches to expanding human civilization throughout the solar system. Key insights that could be gained include improved understanding of the use of space to improve life on Earth, whether to prioritize lunar or Martian settlement, the viability of O'Neill-style space habitats, and how various stakeholders can work toward consensus on optimal expansion strategies.

Panelists:

• Frank White, Co-executive Editor, Sentient Media, LLC; President & Board Chair, Human Space Program; Professor at Kepler Space University
• David W. Peterson, Chairman, Ventana Systems, Inc.
• Dr. Annahita Nezami, Research Fellow, Birkbeck, University of London Chartered Psychologist
