One solution to the Fermi Paradox, the big question of where all the aliens are, is that extraterrestrials might hide from us to avoid altering our society, a concept we see in Star Trek called the Prime Directive. Is such a policy ethical, and if so, should we follow it? Watch the Video Version: https://youtu.be/TwNdj76CK-E Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/ Visit ou...

Establishing Interstellar Trade and Commerce in the future will require an entirely new approach to moving cargo, as years if not centuries might pass for shipments to arrive by even the fastest spaceships, but may be aided by the use of vast interstellar Cycler Castles traveling on century long trade routes.

The Kardashev Scale measures how powerful a high-tech civilization is, with K-1 indicating a advanced society able to call on all the power of their planet, which we often envision as a Post-Scarcity Utopia. Is this the future of Humanity? And if so, how can we achieve it? Watch the video version: https://youtu.be/OcIXiRftjs4 Start listening with a 30-day Audible trial and your first audiobook is...

Aliens are portrayed in Science Fiction both as our potential saviors and best friends, as well as the stuff of nightmares.

To become an Interplanetary Species we need to colonize another planet, and Mars will be our first target. To establish a base there, and a future settlement, we need to get their first, so we will also examine the Aldrin Cycler, a type of spacecraft that may make traveling to other worlds far easier.

We typically imagine interstellar civilizations as vastly superior in technology to modern times, but could the future see planets colonized by spaceships little better than our modern ones? Could some alien worlds allow space travel to develop far sooner and easier than it did on Earth? Or could civilizations abandon more advanced technology?

Recently the Military released Navy footage of 3 separate UFO or UAP - unidentified aerial phenomena - we will review that footage and consider both mundane explanations and the not-so-mundane, like secret projects, extraterrestrial origins, and what it might indicate about the technology and motivations of such alien civilizations if they are visitors from out in the galaxy.

Science Fiction delights in showing us grim, dark, giant, and dystopian future cities of covered in garbage and where life is cheap, but how realistic are such metropolises and how can we avoid living in them?

It's been over half a century since we first went to the Moon, and nearly as long since we last went. To Return to the Moon we need a base with a purpose, and we'll look at what purposes we have in mind and what the bases might be like as we head back to establish a Lunar Colony.
