Mars colonies or sat TV? | László Molnár | TEDxBudapest

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The future is here: space has interwoven our daily lives. But because it happened gradually, few have actually noticed the extraordinary level of change. And despite the successes, space is still hard and costly. Will the space industry always be limited to serving us here on Earth or the time will come when we can expand our civilization to other planets? And is it even possible to leave the Solar System entirely?

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
