🔥 Speaker Highlight: Dr. Robert Zubrin — Founder of The Mars Society & Author of Mars Direct 🚀

If there's one name that’s synonymous with boots on Mars—it's Dr. Robert Zubrin.

For decades, he’s been the loudest, boldest voice pushing humanity to stop talking and start going.
🌕 While others waited for perfect tech and politics to align, Zubrin laid out the plan.
📘 Mars Direct isn’t just a book—it’s a blueprint.

He’s challenged NASA. Inspired SpaceX. Ignited a global movement.

And at New Worlds 2025, he’s bringing the fire.

🎙️ This is your chance to hear from the man who refused to let Mars stay a fantasy.

October 25–26 | Austin, TX
400 seats. No livestream. No fluff. Just vision and velocity.
