She discusses the need to establish a unifying vision for deep space exploration, outlining the challenges and benefits of a mission to Mars. Her remarks are followed by a discussion with James Andrew Lewis, senior fellow and director of the Technology and Public Policy Program at CSIS, and a Q&A session.
