We have teamed up with our friends at Odeon to put on a special educational screening of Ridley Scott’s new film The Martian, followed by a discussion as part of World Space Week. We have a limited number of free tickets available for BIS members.

As you can see in a BIS exclusive article, The Martian has been praised for its depiction of space exploration, but the critics are also saying it is a great film: “smart, thrilling, and surprisingly funny”. The screening is also being offered to children at local schools as part of science education and promotion. Following the film, the BIS will host an expert panel discussion and Q&A about Mars: How could we get to Mars? What would we find there? What would we need to survive? The discussion will be filmed and we hope to be able to put it on the BIS website.
