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

If the Universe is inhabited by older alien civilizations, those who have ventured out to the stars and colonized galaxies, we would expect to see a footprint of extraterrestrial activity. Could the many stars whose brightness has dimmed be indicative of Dyson Spheres or other Megastructures? Could the Cosmic Voids vastly bigger than any galaxy be the work of even greater and older starfaring species?

Fermi Paradox Disappearing Stars & Cosmic Voids

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

Spaceships and fleets of the future may host their own unique civilizations of nomads, traveling the space lanes or venturing deep into interstellar space to colonize the galaxy or flee peril. What would such cultures be like?

Nomadic Space-Based Civilizations

The genesis and origin of life may require a very rare and delicate mixture of certain chemicals. One of those is phosphorus, and trying to figure out how we ever got enough of it in Earth's primordial soup for life to form in the first place has long puzzled scientists. We will also discuss the recent discovery of Phosphine Gas in Venus's Atmosphere
