Missions to Mars Speaker Bas

Our astronomical speaker and entrepreneur is captivating to listen to, as his enthusiasm for Mars One and determination to become the first foundation to accomplish a manned Mars mission in 2032 is truly inspirational.

With a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Twente University, our astronomical speaker spent an additional five years at Delft University of Technology working on his PhD research in wind energy. Following this, our entrepreneur started his own company that developed a cost-efficient method of wind energy generation.

He then sold his company and created Mars One, a foundation that became an established name in the world of space exploration in just three short years. Our astronomical speaker now aims to be the first foundation to send its first unmanned demonstration Mars mission in 2020.

During his speeches, Bas discusses why we should explore Mars and how to go about it, explaining the business model for a manned mission to Mars and the complexities of gathering a crew willing to leave behind everything they know and love to attempt to settle on Mars.

A truly fascinating topic of discussion that our speaker is tremendously enthusiastic about is contagious among audiences as he shares his knowledge of Mars One and his dream to launch the first manned Mars mission.
