What Adam Frank actually said

  1. Adam Frank Professor of astrophysics at the University of Rochester
    So, trying to establish a base on Mars it's going to be so hard that it is not even going to be close to being self-sufficient for a couple a century at least. So, it's not like a backup plan now, we have to solve the problem of climate change, we have to deal with that.
