Is the future of humanity is contingent upon our ability to colonize off-planet? This will never happen if future generations continue to hold a lackluster view of science and space exploration. Jeffrey Bennett explains the importance of educating and inspiring our children to boldly lead humankind into a new future as explorers of the final frontier in this interview with George Noory.
