Missions to Mars Speaker Bas

Our astronomical speaker and entrepreneur is captivating to listen to, as his enthusiasm for Mars One and determination to achieve the first manned Mars mission by 2032 is truly inspiring.

With a Master's degree in mechanical engineering from Twente University, our astronomical speaker spent another 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.

Our entrepreneur then sold his company and created Mars One, a foundation that became well-known in the world of space exploration in just three 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 doing it, as well as explaining the business model for a manned mission to Mars. He also talks about 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, our speaker's tremendous enthusiasm is contagious among audiences as he shares his knowledge of Mars One and his dream to launch the first manned Mars mission.
