Can we really live a productive and meaningful life beyond Earth, and if so, how will that happen and what will it look like?

Following a Planetarium show, you’ll hear from expert panellists as they deep-dive into pressing questions around designing for space, liveability and generating sustainable energy solutions.

Explore what life in space for humans would be like and the challenges we would need to overcome in food security, energy and understanding the ecology of this celestial body.

Moonbase – The Next Step (2022)

7 to 7:45 | Planetarium show

Moonbase – The Next Step (2022) is a story of human endeavour, pushing scientific and technological advances to the limit. Travelling the 250,000 miles and surviving the hostile, alien conditions of reduced gravity, extreme temperatures and toxic lunar dust, Moonbase – The Next Step explores the science and technology required for this brave mission to happen.

This event is part of Melbourne Design Week 2024, an initiative of the Victorian Government in collaboration with the NGV.
