We learned about the abbreviated history of astrophysics, through reading Neil Degrasse Tyson's book Astrophysics for People in a Hurry , and learned how to calculate a Riemann sum. For this Action Project, we were tasked with creating a scientific conference poster that discussed the current state of space exploration, through detailing one of the several Space Technology Grand Challenges set up by NASA. Below is my conference poster, detailing one of NASA's Grand Challenges, Colonization.

Currently, the infrastructure and integrated technologies needed to enable permanent, self-sufficient human settlements away from Earth do not exi
