I appreciate the stellaris ost in the background haha

We often accuse people of being paranoid about extraterrestrials,  flying saucers, and UFOs - but what if it's the aliens who are paranoid?

Paranoid Aliens

Alien Conspiracy theories are too numerous to count, but are they simply being paranoid about UFOs or might aliens be conspiring against us? Alternatively, could an extraterrestrial civilization be conspiratorial by nature, and what motives might a galactic civilization have for involving themselves with us in secret?

Conspiratorial Aliens

As ancient and vast as the Universe is, it seems like some alien race arose in the galaxy long before us, but who rose before them? What would the cosmos be like for the first civilization to arise, and what if it is us?

The Fermi Paradox: Firstborn

Our future lies out among the planets and stars, but to climb out in to space we must take many steps to get off, and today we'll look at those first steps to becoming spacefaring species. From cheaper rockets & space stations to asteroid mining & defense to space tourism & commercialization, we've a long road ahead, but we have a roadmap.

Becoming an Interplanetary Species: First Steps

Superconductors offer us a path to high-efficiency, low-loss power and energy, but the impact they'll have on our civilization through other technologies may be far greater, and we'll explore the science or superconductivity works and what future technology it will of us.

The Impact Of Superconductors (Narration Only)

The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, SETI, relies on looking for signals from distant alien worlds where even very powerful signals can weaken to near nothing. We'll explore today how we, or extraterrestrials, might get around this problem, be it by immense star-powered transmitters or by using laser communication beams.

Talkative Aliens

Talkative Aliens (Narration Only)

One possible solution to the Fermi Paradox, the big question of where all the aliens are, is that some ancient galactic disaster wiped out extraterrestrial civilizations, and we're among the first to arrive back on the spacefaring scene.

The Fermi Paradox: Galactic Disasters (Narration Only)

To travel to other planets, we will first have to build up are infrastructure closer to home, in orbit of Earth. The best place to get all the mass for those space stations and rocket fuel depots is from the Moon, and we'll examine the milestones we'll need to reach to start lunar resource harvesting and building up space settlements.

Colonizing Cislunar Space And The Lagrange Points

Recently the Military released Navy footage of 3 separate UFO or UAP - unidentified aerial phenomena - we will review that footage and consider both mundane explanations and the not-so-mundane, like secret projects, extraterrestrial origins, and what it might indicate about the technology and motivations of such alien civilizations if they are visitors from out in the galaxy.

Response And Analysis Of Recent UFO Disclosures From The US Military

Asteroids represent a threat to Earth, but in the future they may be a boon, serving as sources of vast wealth and resources, and as orbital settlements and keystones of interplanetary trade.
