The Moon - Returning and Colonizing

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.

Industrializing The Moon (Narration Only)

We contemplate colonizing planets, but what about the stars themselves?
Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/
Containing virtually all the mass and resources of the solar system, the Sun, the Sun is the ultimate asset for a growing interplanetary civilization. While typically assumed too hot to touch and so out of our reach, we will challenge that notion today.

Colonizing the Sun (Narration Only)

A Moon Base may be built within a generation, but long term colonization will take many more. As more people travel and immigrate their, establishing more lunar colonies, tension between them and Earth could lead to conflicts and possibly even warfare.

Battle For The Moon

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)

The option of using floating platforms, balloons, or cargo air planes to launch rockets into space and save fuel is often discussed but rarely employed. Today we'll look at stratostations, rockoons, and other suggested methods for getting into space using these methods.

Sky Platforms (Narration Only)

An Introduction to our Upward Bound Series looking at launch vehicles and megastructures for getting into Space, as well as some awesome projects we might engage in while up there.

Upward Bound Series Intro

There's many dangerous places on Earth, and everywhere off Earth is downright lethal, from the emptiness of space to the airless and radiation soaked Moon to the smoldering inferno of Venus, humanity can't visit them without protection. We'll see what options for spacesuits are under works and what options might emerge for even better ones in the distant future.

The Moon is gateway to space, and in the future it might serve as an industrial and mining complex fueling vast production of spaceships, rocket fuel, satellites, space stations, and colonial habitats.

Moon: Industrial Complex (Narration Only)

The Moon is covered in vast numbers of craters, some larger than entire Earth-based Nations, which may serve as dome habitats for humanity's future space colonies. But what would a crater city colony be like?

Moon: Crater Cities (Narration Only)

Jupiter is an enormous gas giant, more massive than all the other planets in the solar system combined... and yet small compared to our Sun and other Stellar Objects. Could Jupiter be turned into a second sun via advanced technology?
