Today In Space

Can Space Travel Save us from a Dystopian Future? Or fuel it? | Thoughts from an Engineer | TIS#222


Listen Later

We're slowly getting back to a regular schedule after I was out with COVID. Thanks for your patience!  I share what's been on my mind lately, and what kept me preoccupied when I was recovering from COVID. There's been alot of dystopia floating around in my head - and no wonder, its pretty dystopian right now in the real world. Our lives are intertwined with the digital world, there's a pandemic ongoing, and of course - a US election. What else could 2020 bring us? My basic premise this week - is space travel the ultimate hail mary for humanity to progress to a fantastic future? Can continued lunar presence bring about a stable space economy? Can the long shot of SpaceX creating an independent Mars city with its own laws bring about a good future for humanity? Is resistance futile?

Lots of question - too few answers. But I would love to hear what you think!
