Philip Lubin: Breakthrough Starshot, the world-saver laser, and how Stephen Hawking and Yuri Milner took it closer to reality

58 minutes

NASA professor Philip Lubin and his potentially asteroid-deflecting and planet-saving laser, Breakthrough Starshot.

Stephen Hawking's last speeches were often about his gigantic dream project, funded by physichist and billionaire Yuri Milner: The Breakthrough Initiative. It is mindblowing in scope and ambition. Professor Philip Lubin is one of the minds that inspired one part of this initiative: Breakthrough Starshot.
