Canada plays a key role in the global space community’s efforts to return humans to the Moon in a sustainable way. In this presentation, Dr. Cassandra Marion will discuss why lunar exploration is a vital step and testing ground to advance human space exploration, scientific discovery and technological innovation in preparation to one day reach the surface of Mars.
