How to adapt humans to life in space (and still look after planet Earth) | Dava Newman | TEDxBoston
Mars is Dava Newman's second favorite planet.
She brings us the sights, sounds, and stories from the latest data collected on the red planet. She paints a picture of what it will take to adapt humans to life on Mars and a future of space exploration beyond--but, importantly, urges us to use our knowledge to collective ingenuity to steward life on "Spaceship Earth".
Scientific research at MIT Media Lab is bringing space travel into reality. New tools and data models being developed will open up distant worlds. By pointing those tools at our green planet, we also have the power to intervene in the great natural crises of our time, biodiversity loss and climate change.
Hear about a current AI and machine learning project that parses huge stores of Earth observation data into an interface that people can interact with to better understand how climate change could impact them directly at neighborhood scale. Dava Newman is the director of the MIT Media Lab. She holds the Apollo Program Professor of Astronautics chair at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is a Harvard–MIT Health, Sciences, and Technology faculty member in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She was named a MacVicar Faculty Fellow (a chair for making significant contributions to undergraduate education); and was the former Director of the Technology and Policy Program at MIT (2003–2015); and Director of the MIT–Portugal Program (2011–2015, 2017-present). She has been a faculty leader in Aeronautics and Astronautics and MIT’s School of Engineering for 28 years. She holds a top-secret clearance.
The Honorable Dr. Dava Newman served as NASA Deputy Administrator (2015-2017). Nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the U.S. Senate unanimously in April 2015.
