She’s landed a parachute on Mars. Designed probes for scorching hot Venus. And helped build the coldest spot in the universe.

Now DR ANITA SENGUPTA — rocket scientist & aerospace engineer working on the edges of frontier technologies — has turned her mind to the future of transport on Earth.

As climate change threatens the existence of the human race & the planet as we know it, sustainability is fast becoming the new Deep Space equivalent.

How can we reduce our footprint on Earth? Can humans dream of electric planes? Is that dream just 5 years away? Will we have airports at our doorsteps? What impacts will that have? Can enough electricity be generated from clean sources?

Exciting. Inspiring. This is a fascinating insight into the visions & extreme engineering shaping our lives.
