Does life exist on Mars? The question has captivated humans for centuries, but today it has taken on new urgency. NASA plans to send astronauts to Mars orbit by the 2030s. SpaceX wants to go by 2024, while Mars One wants to land a permanent settlement there in 2032. As we gear up for missions like these, we have a responsibility to think deeply about what kinds of life may already inhabit the planet - and whether we have the right to invite ourselves in.

We're traveling to Mars to live there. It represents an opportunity for humans to start anew while asking the hard questions about who we are and who we want to become. Mars Ascend: Humans to Mars and Beyond attempts to ask those questions and more.
