MARS!
The Madame Mars team intends to educate, inspire and motivate girls and young women to pursue careers and opportunities as space explorers and scientists, and to prepare us all for our next great space adventure.
We have assembled an impressive group of scientists, educators, designers, and Mars specialists of every kind who will guide, create and populate this unique mission that is not only a film, but also an interactive, crowd-sourced living laboratory of women working in the space sciences and in space exploration, designed to invite participation by young women seeking to help humanity – and themselves – get to Mars.
