Science: Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Take on Aliens And Why We Should Become A Multiplanetary Species (Video)
January 2, 2018
Worried about the possibility of aliens enslaving us based on the way WE (humans) have acted throughout history? You would not be alone. Great minds hold that opinion, too. Minds like Dr. Stephen Hawking (like many others) assume that any advanced culture would conquer one it finds inferior. Dr. Tyson respectfully (and optimistically) disagrees.
Neil deGrasse Tyson responds to Stephen Hawkings view on aliens. He also discusses artificial intelligence.

Great heady theoretical talk that we can all follow. Cool.

Mars: To Boldly Go Where No Human Has Gone Before, Space X Will Need To Get A Lander Up And The Cost Of Relocating To Mars Down (Video)
July 5, 2017
Wow, so SpaceX is launching its manned Mars lander in 2020? Wow. The goal of ‘making humans a multi-planetary species’ seems kind of far out, and that is the point. Mars is the next planet over, sure, but it ain’t just “next door.” It is far out there.
SpaceX Founder, CEO, and Lead Designer Elon Musk will discuss the long-term technical challenges that need to be solved to support the creation of a permanent, self-sustaining human presence on Mars. The technical presentation will focus on potential architectures for sustaining humans on the Red Planet that industry, government and the scientific community can collaborate on in the years ahead.

Interesting. Musk is the first big wig in space matters to address why we are trying to just go back to the moon… It is not a good candidate for terraforming (e.g. we cannot make an Earth-like planet of it). Watch the presentation above and read a bit more below.
