The Future Of Fission (Narration Only)

Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur ·

2020/09/17

Nuclear Fission was once hailed as the solution to our power & energy needs, but has grown unpopular of fears of radiation, meltdowns, and radioactive waste. However, advances in science and reactor design may make atomic energy safer and more attractive in the future.

Colonizing Cislunar Space And The Lagrange Points

Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur ·

2020/09/10

To travel to other planets, we will first have to build up are infrastructure closer to home, in orbit of Earth. The best place to get all the mass for those space stations and rocket fuel depots is from the Moon, and we'll examine the milestones we'll need to reach to start lunar resource harvesting and building up space settlements.
