Dr Adriana Marais answers kids' questions about life on Mars
Theoretical physicist Dr Adriana Mars is hoping to travel to outer space as part of the Mars One project in the next few years.
In her Twitter bio, Dr Adriana Marais describes herself as an "aspiring extraterrestrial". For as long as she can remember, Adriana has believed that human beings have a future on Mars.
