Exploring the Cosmos with Professor Hawking

Professor Stephen Hawking, despite his physical challenges, emphasizes the need for humanity to explore space due to Earth's limited resources and growing population. He advocates for space colonization as a Plan B for human survival. The International Space Station (ISS) plays a crucial role in pioneering space exploration, which is essential for future deep space travel. Hawking predicts that within 50 years, there will be settlements on the Moon, and by the end of the century, humans may live on Mars. The work on the ISS is vital for training a new generation of space explorers.
