Science & Futurism With Isaac Arthur

It's been over half a century since we first went to the Moon, and nearly as long since we last went. To Return to the Moon we need a base with a purpose, and we'll look at what purposes we have in mind and what the bases might be like as we head back to establish a Lunar Colony.

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.

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.
