Description: Welcome to the 20th episode of the Urban Astronomer Podcast, and the 1st in our series of public lectures delivered at ScopeX 2017. ScopeX is the largest and oldest astronomy event in South Africa, featuring the work of the local Amateur Telescope Making community, talks and lectures, astrophotography, rocketry, and more. The lecture presented in this episode was by Edwin La Grange, a Mars One candidate. Edwin talks about Mars One, it’s goals, and how it plans to achieve them.
Bio: Allen is an amateur astronomer, an IT professional, a podcaster, a father of five beautiful kids and a barely competent chess player. He is also the director of the Astrophotography Section of the Astronomical Society of South Africa, where he coordinates and promotes the activities of people who are far better photographers than him.
