The 'Living-in-Space' Initiative was initiated by ACES Worldwide in 2024 in partnership with over a dozen other space-related space exploration organizations. We have now had several Zoom based panels with attendance by large audiences of hundreds of people from around the world from over 40 nations.

At the ACES Worldwide Living in Space Workshop, Dr. James L. Green and Dr. Joseph Pelton presented a groundbreaking solution to one of Mars's most fundamental challenges: the lack of a protective magnetosphere. Their presentation, "Space Shields to Terraform Mars," outlined an ambitious yet scientifically grounded approach to creating an artificial magnetic field that could transform the Red Planet into a more habitable world.
