Hosts Phil Bowermaster and Stephen Gordon discuss the quest for immortality, which has been with humanity for a long time -- perhaps since the very beginning, and which has done much to shape the world in which we live.  New organizations are emerging with a whole new take on the proposition that life can be extended indefinitely.    How do we get from here to there? The phases might look something like this:   Life Extension   Durable Digital Replacements   Substrate Mobility   Immortality   So, will some of us live forever? And what does that even mean?   Join us!

Question:“What do you make of the Singularity University?”   Buzz Aldrin: “I’m a pretty high achiever. But I come here and think ‘Gosh. I’ve just got to do better.’”   Phil Bowermaster and Stephen Gordon discuss what makes Singularity University special and indispensable.   Then they'll talk about how to adopt some of the Singularity U awesomeness in your own life... in case you can't attend, OR in preparation for when you do.   Hosts: Phil Bowermaster and Stephen Gordon

Planetary Resources has announced their plans to begin mining near-earth asteroids for the valuable resources that can be found there. Launches may begin in a couple of years. Is a new Gold Rush on its way, one that will open up space in the same way that previous rushes opened the western frontier?

We picture our journey into the future as a smooth transition, but our real progress is a combination of leaps and bounds on the one hand and fits and starts on the other. On a special Tuesday edition of FastForward radio, hosts Phil Bowermaster and Stephen Gordon discuss why the road to tomorrow is such a bumpy one -- and why that might be a good thing.
