: Development and Colonization which was published in 1999. He was
: also part of the first graduating class from the International Space
: University held at MIT in 1988.

: His space expertise includes space system architectures
: — conception, design and creation of complex space projects, such as
: space stations, lunar and Mars missions to facilitate human
: activities in space and other extra-terrestrial environments,
: extra-terrestrial bases to facilitate development and colonization
: of the moon and planets, architectural designs to facilitate human
: activities in extreme environments of the Earth — in such naturally
: uninhabitable environments as underground and underwater dwellings,
: Antarctic bases, submarines, deep-sea oil drilling platforms, etc.,
: visualizing future applications for space technologies, and building
: science. During our discussion with Madhu Thangavelu, we will be
: focusing on the USC Studio, Visions for Space Activity
: - methodology, Studio Focus for Fall 2003 - Planetary Defense,
: What if we don't have time to prepare? How do we adapt to post
: event planet Earth? - Space Technology of course, his past
: projects relating to a Mars mission, lunar bases and space station,
: a rover mission for Mars, ISRU structures on the Moon, the Hesperia
: Lunar Colony Prototype, and much more! Listeners can talk to
