Fermi Paradox: The Prime Directive

Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur ·

2020/11/15

Is such a policy ethical, and if so, should we follow it?

Mars Base (Narration Only)

Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur ·

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.

It's been over half a century since we first went to the Moon, and nearly as long since we last went.
