The New Golden Age of Space Exploration

#space #NASA #JWST
In the next two decades, human beings will return to the moon, set foot on Mars, and launch telescopes capable of detecting extraterrestrial life. NASA’s outgoing head scientist Thomas Zurbuchen oversaw much of the planning for these projects, and space agencies around the world are pursuing similar goals collaboratively. Brian Greene is joined by Zurbuchen, Japan's Masaki Fujimoto, Europe's Kirsten MacDonnell and Australia's Aude Vignelles, as they reveal their plans for what promises to be a New Golden Age of Space Exploration.
This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
The live program was presented at the 2023 World Science Festival Brisbane, hosted by the Queensland Museum.
Participants:
Masaki Fujimoto
Kirsten MacDonell
Aude Vignelles
Thomas Zurbuchen
Moderator:
Brian Greene

Humanity does come together with space exploration and science. I love that WSF is live on stage again. Welcome back, and keep em coming!

[@Duane_Day]

Excellent show. Brian is a great interviewer. I was unaware of the details of these coming missions. So exciting.

[@MrVikingsandra]

I can't tell you how happy I am these videos are back! I think I watched all the previous ones. These discussions are the best! 👏

[@Asdfg_1949_]

It is so nice to have you back!!! I watched most of your videos made during the lockdown but it is much nicer to see a live performance. 😀😀😀 greetings from Ukraine🇺🇦

[@torenormannsteb8922]

Thank you very much for this very interesting event. There is hope for the earth and the humans if we can work together across the borders. If the population are contiuing to increase on earth we will need to colonice Mars and other planets. Let Science bring peace amoung people all over the world and i am sure that in a hundred year the world will be a better place for all of us. There is no limit out there so let go for it....👍❤️

[@viv9611]

Absolutely loved this episode. I'm a regular watcher and this one is the best of the year. Thank you Brian for producing this programmes. As a non-scientist, I find watching your programmes one of the best ways to glimpse into the fields of physics and cosmology!

[@crow2989]

we would likely have to build a large amount of infrastructure first in the Sol system before considered leaving into interstellar space.

[@merlepatterson]

To my mind, I would say that having a remote simulated gravity space station orbiting around the sun in the asteroid belt, would be the most economical solution to long term space habitability. Since many of the required resources are already there for the taking (metals, water, fuels, etc.) and they aren't trapped by planetary gravity which makes them relatively easy to mine and transport.

[@benjamindemontgomery6317]

Smash The rocks together. Asteroid belt. We can build a new planet with gravity and all. engineer a a nice sustainable nuclear reaction in the middle. put in pipe works as we smash the rocks together. This is the Intelligent choice.

[@Alex-js5lg]

On the subject of ChatGPT... please do an updated episode on AI soon! I wouldn't be surprised if you could get Sam Altman on if you approached him through the right channels. He, somebody like Matt Wolfe (who is very up-to-date on AI developments), and two AI researchers/developers/ethicists who can discuss and ask questions about technical details would be a really interesting synergy.

[@yanair2091]

"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for having me. You know, recently NASA was considering sending me to space to study string theory. But they quickly changed their minds when they realized, in zero gravity, it's impossible to keep the strings from tangling!" Yep, not very good yet.

[@MattOGormanSmith]

Aude & Thomas both dodged Brian's question about risking human lives. That's a crucial difference in approach. SpaceX built Dragon to meet NASA's safety requirements, but future companies could fly any janky missions so long as the crew sign their disclaimers. It'll speed up expansion in capabilities enormously.

[@deathwrenchcustom]

I dunno... The Titan didn't do much to advance deep sea exploration...

[@sakismpalatsias4106]

This could be the age of the first great expanse

[@superfluityme]

It will be. It's coinciding with advancements in ai and robotics. It is much cheaper to keep ai functioning in space than keeping a person alive. This will propel the gaining of knowledge which will lead to colonization in our solar system.

[@IjsBlice]

This is like watching an alternate reality to the tv show FOR ALL MANKIND. Aside from that random observation, this conversation is an interesting juxtaposition against the UAP Whistleblower UAP Congressional Hearings. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

I need help with my new years resolution. I've figured out how to change the stars. My idea for changing the stars includes Orion and Pleiades (Subaru). I figure it's time to put something up there that's relevant to us, don't you think? Take Orion's belt and Betelgeuse becomes the head with a baseball hat. Below the belt are two legs bending at the knee. The feet aligning perfectly under the bent knees. The 3 stars of Orion's belt align perfectly as the 3 fat belt loops on a baseball uniform. The spear pointing at "Subaru" is the bat being swung and "Pleiades" is the baseball flying away after being hit. Put it all together and you get, "THE ALL-STAR." In my case, I see a left-handed batter and I imagine a "7" on the jersey. Which makes him, "Mickey." (As it should be ;-) But you can put any number you want, making, "THE ALL-STAR," any player you want. It'd be wrong of me to not, at least, try. This is me, trying. Pass it on, please and thank you. Don't worry, where I come from, crazy is a compliment. ;-P

[@Silkari]

First time watching live, guess it will be the first time not watching at 2x speed hehe, still looking forward to another wholesome discussion.

[@Vector_Ze]

2X is a bit rough. I find 1.5 more enjoyable.

[@IndranilBiswas_]

Great talk, Brian! I have a question - Hayabusa2 found 20,000 organic molecules which is basically a VERY TINY number. For reference Avogadro number is 6.023*10^23 so 2*10^4 is a very small number. How are we then so sure that it is from a primordial asteroid and not leakage from earth's atmosphere or some earth-origin dust particle. Even an entropic argument seems to be in favor of a leakage into the sample collector (there could be innumerable ways of leaking such a minuscule number of molecules). How do we definitively know that the sample is 100.00% from that asteroid.

[@user-dq4qt4od6g]

If it wasn’t for science… we would not have the things we have today.

[@NicholasNerios]

In this era of robotic and ai systems filling less desirable jobs, we need to explore just for job creation. Another benefit, Steven Hawking says some disaster will make humans on earth extinct, other estimates less then 1 million, or as soon as 500 million years. With the technology we learn from habitating Mars, will be needed here in earth with in this 1000 year to 500 million years and before earth becomes hazardous to life. Being prepared to create sustainable life should be the first concern, and we learn that by taking Mars.

[@jamescox5297]

Other exploration operations should have been included

[@andrewmclean4212]

More scientists in politics more scientific education in the general lexicon. To my mind we have some how missed this as a imperative in the base syllabus of all education systems to-date.

[@Ein_Kunde_]

And less americans and muslims. They are all anti-science.

[@robertbustamante833]

The cost of rocket production has gone down 1/3 because it is now non-union, low benefit, private sector employment working for stock options rather than benefits. It has little to do with 24 hr shift work. Come on Mr. Zurbuchen. Not to turn the conversation into a labor dispute, but it may be greed or the motivation for wealth that drives down costs at the front end. There has been a cultural shift in that regard since the early space program. How do scientists negotiate that phenomenon?

[@hgm8337]

The elephant in the room is that SpaceX's divergence of Govt. Artemis funds for their 'Starship' program is a disgrace and has sadly set back human space exploration by decades.

[@joebushnell143]

I disagree. Everything up through Apollo and Shuttle was just our down payment. I believe we are now entering "the golden age of space exploration. " If you agree, please give it a thumbs up 👍

[@joebushnell143]

Correction. I shall call Apollo, The Shuttle, and ISS as a proof of concept. What happens next will become the Golden Age. But what will happen after that? The real road block is what happens when we're ready to move out of our solar system?

[@Winkkin]

People speaking about space exploration when we haven't even explored our own planet is perplexing. We've dug a mere 7.5 miles into the Earth. We don't know much about our own planet yet carry such hubris about our understanding & abilities to explore other planets.

We know what's in the dirt. It's the ocean that needs exploration. Regardless your statement is stupid. We can do both.

[@namehere4954]

I would hope in 100 years we will be interstellar. There need to be some modification to general relativity to make this happen.

[@armchairgravy8224]

Don't hold your breath on breaking general relativity.

[@Vector_Ze]

What needs be found is not a problem with relativity, that's pretty solid. It will take insight, and technological developments we can't really imagine at this time. But, on the scale of that technological development, a century is quite a big chunk of time. What's the answer? Who knows. I left my crystal ball behind on the first trans-pacific passenger flight, only 33 years after the Wright Brothers' first brief, powered, sustained, and controlled airplane flight (1903). But, manned interstellar in a single human lifetime beginning less than a century from now is probably a stretch. Sadly, nobody in this conversation will live long enough to see the departure even in the best-case scenario.

[@michaelreagan7149]

I'm hoping that in 100 years we have moved on into and past our solar system, and have at least sent a probe to a neighboring system, maybe Alpha Centauri ?

[@Interloper12]

An intelligence superseding us by a billion years. Sheesh. We could be staring "them" right in the face and not even recognize it as life. They would be unimaginably different.

I don't think so. The elements that make us would be the same elements that make them. I imagine all life in the universe is much more similar to earth organisms than we think.

[@WildSoftail]

The most difficult part of searching for Extraterrestrial signals/Extraterrestrial Life is as in the Drake equation, N = R* x Fp x Nc x. Fl x Fi x Fc x L Where N is the # of intelligent civilizations capable of communication with us ... R* is the rate of star formation with in the Milkyway Galaxy ... Fp is the # fraction of stars that have planets in the habitable zone Nc is the # of planets that could support life per star with planets FL is the fraction of life-supporting planets that develop life Fi the fraction of those planets that support life develop intelligence Fc is the fraction of intelligent civilizations that develop communication tech L = The TIME that those communication capable intelligent civilizations exist I think eventually each of the variables will eventually have a relative number assigned. As future discovery and exploration answers these questions If you start out with 300 billion stars and we now know that on average, every star has planets the average number of planets orbiting in the habitable zone per star =1 This gives us 300 billion planets that are in the habitable zone of there relative star. If 1% of those 300 billion planets develop life ... this gives us 3 billion planets supporting life If 1% of those 3 billion planets that support life develop intelligent civilizations, this gives us 30,000,000 intelligent civilizations in our galaxy alone If 1% of those 30 million intelligent civilizations are capable of communicating with us, there would be 300,000 Extraterrestrial civilizations capable of communicating with us in our own galaxy BUT the last part of the equation has a degree of difficulty that is literally astronomical ... The longevity factor ... how long an intelligent communicating civilization can exist. Since humanity has only existed as a civilization for approximately 75,000 years and the Milkyway is approximately 13.2 billion years old Space-Time could be the dimension that prevents us from being aware of a universe so complex ....It would be like if our universe were only 2 dimensions ... existing in a 2 dimensional universe, we would only know about width and length ... Discovering Extraterrestrial Life, even if just fossilized microbes, would be the most profound discovery in human history
