Video Description

Mars is full of toxic perchlorates that can be very harmful for future human missions. So, when people go to Mars, they will need to fix it. NASA has awarded a NIAC grant for a project that can help solving this problem. It's called Detoxifying Mars: the biocatalytic elimination of omnipresent perchlorates. 🟣 Guests: Dr. Lynn Rothschild, Dr. Garrett Roberts Kingman πŸ‘‰ More about the NIAC project: https://www.nasa.gov/general/detoxifying-mars/ πŸ’Š Lynn's other NIAC project interview, On-Demand Pharmacy for Space Missions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvHEKqrdP9k πŸ¦„ Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/universetoday πŸ“š Suggest books in the book club: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1198440-universe-today-book-club 00:00 Intro 02:31 Perchlorates on Mars 10:48 The NIAC proposal 35:09 What's next 49:18 Current obsessions 53:35 Final thoughts πŸ“° EMAIL NEWSLETTER Read by 70,000 people every Friday.
