Apollo Astronaut Harrison Schmitt: What We Found on the Moon Shouldn't Be There

The only scientist who ever walked on the Moon thinks we are about to get Mars completely wrong. In this Starmus keynote, Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison "Jack" Schmitt takes you from the lunar surface to the case for going back. He explains why the Moon, not Mars, is humanity's real next step, what the soil beneath his boots could mean for clean energy on Earth, and why a discovery in the lunar dust quietly challenges the textbook story of how the Moon was born. Schmitt remains the only geologist, and the only scientist, ever to walk on another world. Watch to the end for his answer on whether humans could actually live on the Moon.
