I recently went live on Rai - Radiotelevisione Italiana to discuss why pushing #humanexploration beyond LEO isn’t just a dream—it’s a necessity ?? . For many, #Moon and #Mars missions seem like distant stories on TV. But #spaceexploration drives innovations that improve clean water, waste management, agriculture, and our planet’s future. Yet, how countries set priorities suggests we've failed to convey this message effectively ?? . ? I strongly advocate for a Mars mission—not just to reach another planet, but to push technological, scientific, and geopolitical boundaries to tackle real-world challenges and achieve #SDGs that endure for decades, not just years! ?? We must communicate better that everyone can be part of this journey. Space exploration isn’t just for the few—it’s progress for all. But many don’t even realize it’s real and happening now. What do you think? How can we better connect space exploration with societal progress? #SpaceExploration #MarsMission #Innovation #SustainableDevelopment #WomenInSTEM #WomenInSpace
