Space piracy sounds like something straight out of science fiction, but if humanity builds a large economy beyond Earth, crime will almost certainly follow it. Ships will be carrying fuel, equipment, raw materials, valuable technology, and potentiall... more
What would actually happen if humanity made first contact with intelligent alien life, and would discovering an advanced extraterrestrial civilization unite us, divide us, or completely change our future?

Only one episode in and I'm hooked. Jacob and Lucas really know their science and present it in way that's easy to follow, even if some of it is pretty sciency. Some ideas, like obliterating certain heavenly bodies to acquire enough material to build a Dyson Swarm may seem completely improbable and reckless (and it may be) but they present it in a way that makes you believe it could work. Their ideas are well thought out. Their banter is fun and easy to follow. I look forward to more. (I liked t... more
My new favourite podcast, just finished my 2nd play through. It’s a thought-provoking show that tackles big ideas, making connections between science, society, and the future of humanity. I hope this show lasts long into the future because i can’t get enough.
Only two episodes in and I’m hooked. Jacob and Lucas really know their science and present it in way that’s easy to follow, even if some of it is pretty sciency. Some ideas, like smashing Gannymeade into Mars to make it more earth-like may seem completely improbable and reckless (and it may be) but they present it in a way that makes you believe it could work. Their ideas are well thought out. Their banter is fun and easy to follow. I look forward to more.

A science-forward show that blends rigorous science with big-picture futurism, exploring how physics, engineering, and biology shape the future of humanity in space and beyond. Episodes span topics from life in energy-poor environments and nanotechnology to space habitats, Dyson swarms, terraforming Venus, and the ethics of climate engineering, often tying real-world science to speculative scenarios. The hosts' dynamic banter and willingness to push ideas against practical constraints make complex concepts approachable while keeping a highly ambitious, horizon-scanning lens. Noteworthy angles include concrete discussions of spacecraft design, planetary engineering, and the Fermi paradox, all grounded in current science rather than pure fict... more
