Imagine Mars

Lacey Presley

Imagine Mars is Lacey Presley’s podcast exploring the engineering, logistics, and first-principles thinking required to make humanity multiplanetary. Episodes are voiced by AI hosts that present her original research and analysis.

Topics include the latest SpaceX and Starship developments, the practical realities of Mars colonization (resource extraction, habitat construction, orbital refueling, robotic precursor missions), and the systems thinking needed to turn the idea of a second home into an executable plan.
