When we were kids, we used to stare up at the sky and see the stars. We now know that there is something beyond the stars, and Dr. Ghosh’s panel discussion brought the bright young and inquisitive minds one step closer to the stars and beyond.
Dr. Ghosh has also played an important part in NASA missions such as the Mars Pathfinder Mission and the MER (Mars Exploration Rover).
