詹姆斯·麦克唐纳
博士,
Associate Professor of 物理 詹姆斯·麦克唐纳 teaches a University Interdisciplinary Studies course, 火星之路, that examines the mechanics of human space travel to Mars, as well as the physical, 心理, 社会, 环境, 法律问题, that come along with it.
Part of the idea of studying Mars, 说麦当劳, is that it is roughly the same age as earth, 但小.
“Because Mars is smaller, it goes through its life cycle quicker,” he says. “So all that’s happened so far to Mars, without human interaction, will eventually happen to Earth.”
