Our Future In Space

Grant Anderson (Paragon Space Development Corporation) and Bruce Pittman (Sky Corp Inc) discuss the importance of having a gravity vector in space, life support, assembling space craft on orbit, and beyond.

Frank White discusses the “Overview Effect”, and why he feels large numbers of people should experience it. We also discuss the “solar ecosystem” and why moving into space isn’t abandoning the Earth.

Dr. Tom Spilker and Architect Tim Alatorre join us in this week’s episode to talk about why we build space stations, designing space stations, artificial gravity, making stations profitable, and engineering the future of space.

Dr. Angie Bukley, and OAC advisor Jeff Greason join us in this week’s episode. Both have long careers in space and share their insights on artificial gravity and more.

Daniel Fox, an amazing storyteller and space advocate, explores humanity’s relationship with the Earth and life, and how “we’re going to space because nature is.”

This week we interviewed Dan Britt, a professor at the University of Central Florida, an economist, and an expert on Off-Earth Mining. We had a great conversation on the implications of Asteroid Mining on a medium-term spacefaring society, and the impacts that off-earth mining and space resources will have on the space industry in the near future as well.

This week we had a great conversation with Jeff Greason from Electric Sky and the Tau Zero Foundation, ranging across electric propulsion to cross-solar system transportation to our imperative to expand beyond the planet.

This week we have a great interview for you with an old colleague, Dr. Martin Elvis, where we talk about asteroids and how space resources will be vital to building an off Earth economy and civilization.

In this episode we have an excellent interview with Dr. Shawna Pandya talking about the medical risks of long duration spaceflight, and what we can do to better understand, and mitigate, these risks.
