Episode 5 of the Habitable Planets Series takes a look at double planets and what sort of conditions would prevail, or need to prevail, for them to be Earth-like. As well as the Rocheworld, a special case of Double Planets where the two planets either share an atmosphere or have even begun to merge together.

Note: make sure to set units of both bodies to Earth Mass and period to hours or days if trying to look at double planet cases.

HP05 - Double Planets And Rocheworlds

This series takes a look at concepts for everything from Terraforming Planets and Interstellar Colonization to more down to Earth matters like Arcologies and Planet Wide Cities before examining using black holes as power sources for starships.We then leap into the far distance future at the end of time to examine civilizations surviving around black holes after all the stars have died out.

CS03 - The Impact Of Nuclear Fusion

CS02 - Ecumenopolises

We continue our look at possible explanations why life may be very rare in the Universe by examining our planet itself, and looking at which of its characteristic might be important to intelligence developing and how improbable those traits are for a given planet in a given solar system.

Fermi Paradox Great Filters: Rare Earth (Narration Only)

Jupiter and its moon are a rarely considered prospect for colonization, but potentially the ripest opportunity for it in the solar system. In this episode of the Outward Bound series we will examine the options for colonizing each of Jupiter's primary moons and even discuss ways to colonize the giant planet itself.

Colonizing Jupiter (Narration Only)

Could the cold outer reaches of the solar system ever be called home?
Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/
Far beyond even Pluto and the Kuiper Belt is a vast and mostly empty region of space that we theorize may contain trillions of comets and other icy bodies. Frozen and barren though they would be, we will consider how they might one day become thriving and comfortable habitats for us.

Colonizing The Oort Cloud (Narration Only)

A journey out to the stars to colonize Alpha Centauri
Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/
We've looked at colonizing our own solar system, from Mars to Venus, and all the way inward to the Sun itself and out to the dark edges of the Oort Cloud. In this episode we conclude the Outward Bound Series by heading to our nearest neighboring star system, Alpha Centauri, and look at the trials and tribulations of colonizing binary star systems and red dwarves.

Colonizing Alpha Centauri (Narration Only)

A new paper has come out discussing how the Fermi Paradox might be explained by the rigors of traveling space for interstellar colonization, causing settlements to be rare and and possibly not long-lived. We'll look at this model for spreading humanity out across the galaxy and see what insights or flaws it might have.

The Fermi Paradox & the Aurora Effect (Narration Only)

In order to get into space, we require either huge amounts of rocket fuel or dangerously powerful energy sources, making personal spacecraft a technology limited to science fiction. But by harnessing beamed power sources to run engines, we may be able to create a spaceplane cheap enough and safe enough that  anyone could have one in the future.

Fermi Paradox: Great Filters Series Intro

We often speculate that the reason we can't hear aliens civilizations is because our SETI efforts (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) relies on radio and telescopes to weak to hear them. But how plausible is that? and what would it tell us about our own future?
