Hi guys, welcome to part 12 of our women of steel series here on the Matt Brown Show, prepare for an out of this world episode as I am joined by Dr Adriana Marais a Technologist, Theoretical Physicist, founder of Proudly Human and volunteer for a one-way trip to Mars, yes, Mars. Bravery is not defined by being fearless, it is defined by acknowledging fear and choosing to move forward. While most people are terrified of the idea of moving house, Adriana is putting up her hand to venture into space and live on another planet knowing that she can never return. Join us for an exciting and ground-breaking episode as we launch into the topics of being brave and pioneering new paths into the unknown and out of the comfort zone in the pursuit of knowledge and something greater than ourselves. So without further ado enter Dr Adriana Marais.

The expansion of our society beyond this planet is within reach according to NASA, which plans to send humans to Mars by the 2030s. Dr Adriana Marais, one of Africa’s foremost physicists, chats with Aurecon’s Dr Gabi Wojtowitz about why she wants to move to Mars and how engineers can contribute to the pursuit of space discovery. Find us online at aurecongroup.com/podcast or email us at engineeringreimagined@aurecongroup.com.

“The reason I want to go to Mars is simple: The allure of the unknown is far more powerful than the comfort of the known.” Adriana Marais is one of the 100 candidates planning to move to Mars (seriously) with the Mars One Project, in the next decade. Dialling in from South Africa, and drinking her own bottle of bubbly, Adriana chats to Paul and Cookie about her aspirations of living on the Red Planet, why the move is so important for the future of Earth, and 'pikey' humans? If moving to a different planet isn't risky, then we don't know what is.

Mars is at the forefront our minds. The exponential drive of technology is making real what has always just been science fiction and brought us to the dawn of a new space age. There are a number of technologies today that will have significant impact on the world and humanity and while AI and machine learning are leading us to question what it actually means to be human, can there be any greater existential reworking than the first human born on another planet? The first non-earthling? This possibility can only be pondered because there are some very serious and very clever people who earnestly want to put a human colony on our red neighbour. Adriana Marais is on the short list of 100 people who may well be the first humans to travel to, and settle on, Mars. She is also currently the Head of Innovation for SAP Africa. I had a conversation with her to discuss the reality of this happening in the next decade and how it will actually work, that is to say - can we actually science the shit out it. A brilliant conversation and well worth listening to.

“The allure of the unknown is far more comfortable than the known – go further. More important than leaving a legacy is that my ideas will remain behind in the minds of people. Let’s be proudly human – let’s do things that makes us a proud species” In this episode, we hear from aspiring martian Adriana Marais, one of the last one hundred finalist’s of the Mars 1 mission, hoping to jet off to Mars on a one way ticket in 2026. Born and raised on Earth in South Africa, she is one of the many who had hopes of becoming an astronaut but one of the few who carried through with it. Currently an academic researcher with scientific pursuits in the emerging field of quantum astrobiology, she read about the mission to send humans, on a one way ticket, to Mars at breakfast one morning…Her body shivered as she knew at that moment, she was going to attempt to leave Earth and dedicate her own life to the advancement of human knowledge. The post #8 Why I’m on a one-way ticket to MARS!!! with Adriana Marais appeared first on Samira Stalks.

Adriana Marais is preparing herself for a one-way trip to Mars. She has been short-listed for the Mars One project. If selected, she will see her dream of travelling to the Red Planet fulfilled in 2026. Marais, who is a theoretical physicist and member of the Quantum Research Group, says her fascination with living on another planet started at a young age. She joins us on the line now to tell us more.
