Today SETI Live discuss about the implications and potential scientific impacts on increased activity on Mars, specifically, human-crewed missions. How will the presence of people on Mars affect the search for past or present life and what planetary protection measures will be required to protect the integrity of scientific research as well as life here on Earth when crews return?
The James Webb Space Telescope has made its first observations of the TRAPPIST-1 system and measured the temperature of TRAPPIST-1b!
