The future of humanity is being written in the stars, and in this episode, we map out the incredible journey ahead.

Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander details the concrete plans and ambitious dreams that will take us from our lunar doorstep to the ocean worlds of the outer solar system and beyond.

•Learn how the Moon is much more than a destination—it's a vital proving ground and interplanetary pit stop where we will learn to extract water ice for fuel and survive long-term in deep space.

•Understand why Mars remains the crown jewel of exploration, and how robotic pioneers are already there, scouting resources and paving the way for human arrival in the 2030s.

•Journey to the icy moons Europa and Enceladus, where missions like Europa Clipper will soon orbit, seeking answers to whether we are alone in the universe by probing their hidden oceans.

•Peer into the far future with projects like Breakthrough Starshot, which aims to send tiny probes to another star within our lifetimes, and contemplate the propulsion technologies that could one day make interstellar travel a reality.
