The former NASA chief technologist and current CU engineering dean discusses the moon, Mars and why we should think there's life on other planets.

Getting humans back to the moon is one thing. Jack Burns and other CU scientists are asking, "How can we stay?"

Did you miss this year's super blood wolf moon? Don't worry, CU photographer Glenn Asakawa's got you covered.
