You’re viewing a past speaker’s bio. They are not currently scheduled for the upcoming program.

Bruce is the founder of the Mars Foundation, an NSS affiliated organization, dedicated to education and research on settlement of Mars. Bruce advocates low tech “homesteading” to live on Mars. His special interest is the use of in-situ materials, such as production of plastic and masonry from the Martian air and dirt, to build habitats and 3D printing for Mars Settlement. He originated the concept of Masonry structures on Mars, using regolith (dirt) to hold the internal pressure. Bruce has been active in the National Space Society since the merger with the L5 Society. He served multiple terms on the NSS Board of Directors, chapters committee, and in his local chapter.
