Episode Notes

Someday, our progeny may live may travel to the Uranus system, settle its largest moons, and create a thriving economy based on resource extraction, exploration, tourism, and lots of diamonds! With the right strategies and technologies, there could be a branch of humanity someday known as Uranians (don't laugh!).

Episode Notes

Dr. Slava Turyshev is a NASA researcher and one of the leading advocates for creating a telescope that will use our Sun as a Solar Gravitational Lens (SGL). An SGL telescope could revolutionize astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial life, allowing scientists to study exoplanets with extremely high resolution.

Episode Notes

Since the 1990s, Hubble has gazed upon some of the earliest galaxies Universe. This has allowed astronomers to measure cosmic distance and the Hubble Constant - how fast the cosmos is expanding.

The only problem is that measurements of the local Universe vs. the earliest observable galaxies produce different distance results. This has come to be known as the "Hubble Tension," and its far from resolved.

Episode Notes

Interstellar Objects have been a source of fascination since 'Oumuamua passed through our Solar System in 2017. The study of these objects could tell us a great deal about other star systems.

In a recent study, Dr. Alan Stern and his colleagues detailed an Interstellar Object Explorer (IOE) mission, which could rendezvous with future ISOs as they pass through our system.

Episode Notes

Dr. Ryan Sprenger and colleagues have developed the Studying Torpor in Animals for Space-health in Humans (STASH) experiment to advance hibernation technology for space exploration. Their concept was selected for Phase I development by NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program, which could lead to an experiment aboard the ISS.

Episode Notes

Russian/Soviet Konstantin Tsiolkovsky is renowned as the "father of astronautics" and is one of four people credited with the emergence of rocketry as a science.

However, his work and influence went far beyond rocketry and included air travel, alleviating poverty, and cosmic philosophy. Above all else, he was a visionary who inspired countless people with his vision of humanity's future in space.
