Episode Notes
In 1966, NASA and the Soviet space program focused all of their efforts on getting to the Moon first. On July 20th, 1969, Americans succeeded and landed the first astronauts on the lunar surface. By reaching the Moon, NASA effectively won the Space Race. But what followed was a new era of cooperation and long-term plans that would eventually lead back to the Moon and onto Mars...

Episode Notes
The American and Soviet space programs began amid Cold War tensions, where the goal was to "get there first" and demonstrate who had technological supremacy. These efforts began with the launch of artificial satellites, followed quickly by sending crewed spacecraft to orbit. All in preparation for eventual missions to the Moon!

Episode Notes
From its inception in the 1960s, India's national space program - the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) - has evolved to become one of the largest in the world. Between now and 2050, they plan to send "vyomanauts" to orbit, build a space station, send crewed missions to the Moon, and create a lunar base.

Episode Notes
During the Middle Ages, Arab, Persian, and Indian astronomers made incredible contributions to the fields of astronomy and cosmology. In addition to preserving knowledge from Classical Antiquity, they introduced innovations and breakthroughs that would revolutionize the sciences and helped inspire Copernicus' heliocentric model!

Episode Notes
Since the turn of the century, China has emerged as a major power in space. In the future, the country plans to establish a base on the Moon, send taikonauts to Mars, and become a direct rival to NASA. Like all space programs, its inception was tied to the Cold War and the development of nuclear weapons. However, it has since evolved to become a major player in space exploration and research.

Episode Notes
What if the reason we're not hearing from aliens is that everyone out there is listening, but no one is broadcasting messages? This is the essence of the "SETI Paradox" and the ongoing debate between proponents of SETI and METI - Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Episode Notes
The Aztec Empire was the dominant power in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. The astronomical and cosmological traditions they created were extremely fascinating but are still subject to prejudice. Like their peers in Eurasia and East Asia, the Aztecs watched the heavens avidly and discerned patterns that influenced their worldview, calendar systems, and even urban planning.

Episode Notes
The term "habitable zone" comes up a lot when discussing exoplanets and extraterrestrial life these days. But what exactly does it mean? Interestingly, the way we define "habitable" has changed in recent decades, thanks to the number of confirmed exoplanets and our growing knowledge of how life evolved here on Earth.

Episode Notes
Could it be that the reason we haven't seen or heard from any advanced civilizations is that interstellar settlement only happens in small clusters? This is the essence of the Percolation Hypothesis. Essentially, the challenges imposed by a Relativistic Universe and alien biology could prevent a "Galactic Empire" from ever emerging.

Episode Notes
Someday, humans may live around Neptune and the Trans-Neptunian region, where they'll export terraforming gases, fuel for fusion reactors, conduct vital research, and gaze out into the Universe! With the right strategies and technologies, there could be a branch of humanity someday known as Neptunians, Plutonians (or Hadeans), and Ice Belters!

Could the reason we haven't found evidence of extraterrestrial life be that water is too abundant on some worlds? This is the essence of the Waterworlds Hypothesis, which tells us that rocky planets with the right balance of continents and oceans could be rare.

Episode Notes
Noted astrophysicist and science fiction author Alastair Reynolds is renowned for how he combines real science and classic space opera motifs to create "hard science fiction." In addition to introducing cutting-edge and timeless concepts to millions of readers, he has also had a profound influence on this humble science communicator (aka. me!)

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!).

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.

Famed science fiction author Frank Herbert is renowned for creating Dune, the SF novel that taught people to "take science fiction seriously." His thoughts on society, ecology, history, and technology - in particular, the development of AI - are still highly influential today.

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.

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.
