I took this class the first semester that it was offered. It was focused a lot on space travel in general and got more into the actual missions to Mars towards the end of the semester. Murphy gave a lot of cool insights about astronauts and his past hopes to become one himself. His love for space travel made this class so engaging. Definitely recommend!

I took this class the first semester it was offered. Murphy is a pretty good lecturer and his lectures were pretty engaging. The homeworks were very simple and easy, same for the tests. Unfortunately, however, this course didn't have much Mars-related content and was more just about space travel in general. Mars was only really looked at in detail in the last couple of weeks.
