The ongoing efforts aim to establish a sustainable human presence on Mars, with visions of self-sufficient colonies, terraforming, and even interstellar travel someday. While long-term goals—like faster-than-light travel—remain science fiction, Garrett believes that the trajectory of technological progress and human determination could lead to a profound expansion of human civilization beyond our solar system.
Protecting Space and Our Planet
Garrett raises concerns over space debris, known as "space junk," which threatens operational satellites and future missions. He advocates for responsible management—like refining methods to deorbit defunct satellites and debris mitigation—to ensure that low Earth orbit remains sustainable.
