Talk
The Power of Long-Term Thinking
A TEDx talk by Honor Harger, published on 20 October 2026, explored the power of long-term thinking through space exploration. Drawing on Japan’s Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission and other ambitious scientific endeavours, the talk and accompanying essay reflect on how scientists commit decades to pursuing discoveries, and what their dedication can teach us about imagining and shaping the future.

It explored how embodied artistic experiences challenge the idea that everything can be understood through data and computation, revealing art’s power to cultivate empathy, connection and care.
