SDCC: I Have a Panel in One Hour!

In one hour, at 10am, I’ll be at the Neil Morgan Auditorium at San Diego Central Library for the following panel:

“Home Space: Stories Set in Our Solar System: We are in an age where we are looking to set a permanent habitat on the moon in the next decade and have our eyes set on landing on Mars. How do the rocky worlds that we can actually reach with rocketships and investigate with probes inform creators when spinning fictional tales? How can the real science from exploring our own solar system inspire near-earth space stories? Moderator Emily Lakdawalla (planetary scientist) talks with Corinna Bechko (The Expanse), Cecil Castellucci (Shifting Earth), Paul Cornell (Wild Cards), Brandon Easton (Star Trek: Year Five), and Mark Russell (Traveling to Mars), all of whom have crafted science fiction stories that are set a little bit closer to home.”
