I'd just like to give a shotout to the organisers for their great work!

I don't think anyone appreciates how hard running a conference can be at the best of times. But on Mars, the logistical difficulties are on another planet: the organisers have had astronomical health and safety challenges, and don't get them started on the availability of vegan catering...

OllieRodriguez

Yep, big +1 here. I really appreciate this moonshot effort, truly ambitious.

Shall I tweet and tag Elon? (and grimes)

Sadly, I had to cancel EAGxMercury due to deconstruction work.

This deadpan logistical footnote is my favorite; I actually lol’d: “ It’s possible that attendees will plan on staying for longer than a weekend, given the journey. We might organise some retreats around the event.”

Do you know approx. how many COVID-19 boosters one needs to attend?

OllieRodriguez

Is that a new type of rocket? I've not heard of it but good luck.

james.lucassen

~20, assuming trend is linear. If it's exponential, god help us all

Would love to know the feasibility of growing potatoes on the soil in the conference’s area just in case something goes awry

OllieRodriguez

I've heard there will be a pre-event meetup to check out the soil! Pleaes check Swapcard nearer the time.

A_lark

ALLFED is presenting on this, pretty sure. Make sure to fully fill out your Swapcard and tell people you’re interested in this and I’m sure they’ll be happy to have additional one on ones about the topic.

Yes, ALLFED will be there. We have the hydrogen single cell protein, glycerin, and vinegar worked out. This should give us enough time to make a balanced, palatable, vegan diet.

Dawn Drescher

This is really messing with my OCD. Please rename all other EAGxs to EAGxEarth!

Will we need to email Clare whenever some new oxygen needs producing?

OllieRodriguez

Yes, thanks for the heads up, I'll email nearer the time (2025 maybe)

Precise dates TBC. These kinds of details aren’t top of mind for us at present.

Who is EAGxMars for?

What’s the difference between a “normal” EAGx and EAGxMars?

How much are tickets? Is there financial aid?

Will I need a visa?
