Imagine being a settler of Jamestown in 1607 and trying to survive the harsh conditions of a new and unfamiliar world. Now, imagine being a space-faring explorer discovering new worlds and building settlements in extraterrestrial environments. How would these two experiences compare? If resources are limited, how would you make decisions about items you need and those you don't need? Come explore with me as we travel through time and space to inhabit new worlds! #JourneytoMars
