如何为另一个星球上的生命做好准备？6 月 18 日，"超越地球 "系列将举行两场背靠背的演讲，分别从不同方面探讨科学家们如何为我们星球以外的生命做好准备。
下午 1 点 - 伪太空污垢：我们究竟为什么需要它？
Did you know there’s a booming market for fake space dirt? It might sound strange, but it’s true! Demand for lunar and Martian regolith simulants has skyrocketed by over 4000% in recent years. Why? Because with NASA’s Artemis program aiming to return humans to the Moon and go beyond, scientists and engineers need realistic “space dirt” to test their tools, build better technology, and prepare for life on our dusty, rocky neighbors. Come explore how this out-of-this-world material is helping pave the way for our next giant leap!

下午 2:00 - 天体生物学：地球大气层之外的生命
Are we alone in the universe? Could humans really survive on another planet? Thanks to today’s cutting-edge science and technology, we’re closer than ever to finding out! Join us for a deep dive into the fascinating world of Astrobiology and discover how scientists are exploring these big questions in the era of the Artemis Generation. From Mars missions to extreme environments on Earth, you won’t want to miss this out-of-this-world journey!
