Episode Notes
The Aztec Empire was the dominant power in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. The astronomical and cosmological traditions they created were extremely fascinating but are still subject to prejudice. Like their peers in Eurasia and East Asia, the Aztecs watched the heavens avidly and discerned patterns that influenced their worldview, calendar systems, and even urban planning.

Episode Notes
The term "habitable zone" comes up a lot when discussing exoplanets and extraterrestrial life these days. But what exactly does it mean? Interestingly, the way we define "habitable" has changed in recent decades, thanks to the number of confirmed exoplanets and our growing knowledge of how life evolved here on Earth.

Episode Notes
Could it be that the reason we haven't seen or heard from any advanced civilizations is that interstellar settlement only happens in small clusters? This is the essence of the Percolation Hypothesis. Essentially, the challenges imposed by a Relativistic Universe and alien biology could prevent a "Galactic Empire" from ever emerging.

Episode Notes
Someday, humans may live around Neptune and the Trans-Neptunian region, where they'll export terraforming gases, fuel for fusion reactors, conduct vital research, and gaze out into the Universe! With the right strategies and technologies, there could be a branch of humanity someday known as Neptunians, Plutonians (or Hadeans), and Ice Belters!

Episode Notes
Could the reason we haven't found evidence of extraterrestrial life be that water is too abundant on some worlds? This is the essence of the Waterworlds Hypothesis, which tells us that rocky planets with the right balance of continents and oceans could be rare.

Episode Notes
Noted astrophysicist and science fiction author Alastair Reynolds is renowned for how he combines real science and classic space opera motifs to create "hard science fiction." In addition to introducing cutting-edge and timeless concepts to millions of readers, he has also had a profound influence on this humble science communicator (aka. me!)

Episode Notes
Someday, our progeny may live may travel to the Uranus system, settle its largest moons, and create a thriving economy based on resource extraction, exploration, tourism, and lots of diamonds! With the right strategies and technologies, there could be a branch of humanity someday known as Uranians (don't laugh!).

Episode Notes
Dr. Slava Turyshev is a NASA researcher and one of the leading advocates for creating a telescope that will use our Sun as a Solar Gravitational Lens (SGL). An SGL telescope could revolutionize astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial life, allowing scientists to study exoplanets with extremely high resolution.

Episode Notes
Famed science fiction author Frank Herbert is renowned for creating Dune, the SF novel that taught people to "take science fiction seriously." His thoughts on society, ecology, history, and technology - in particular, the development of AI - are still highly influential today.

Episode Notes
Since the 1990s, Hubble has gazed upon some of the earliest galaxies Universe. This has allowed astronomers to measure cosmic distance and the Hubble Constant - how fast the cosmos is expanding.
The only problem is that measurements of the local Universe vs. the earliest observable galaxies produce different distance results. This has come to be known as the "Hubble Tension," and its far from resolved.

Episode Notes
Interstellar Objects have been a source of fascination since 'Oumuamua passed through our Solar System in 2017. The study of these objects could tell us a great deal about other star systems.
In a recent study, Dr. Alan Stern and his colleagues detailed an Interstellar Object Explorer (IOE) mission, which could rendezvous with future ISOs as they pass through our system.

Episode Notes
Russian/Soviet Konstantin Tsiolkovsky is renowned as the "father of astronautics" and is one of four people credited with the emergence of rocketry as a science.
However, his work and influence went far beyond rocketry and included air travel, alleviating poverty, and cosmic philosophy. Above all else, he was a visionary who inspired countless people with his vision of humanity's future in space.

Episode Notes
Plans for sending crews to Mars date back to the Space Age. However, according to recent statements from NASA, these missions are not likely to happen for another 20 years.
Why does the date for this historic achievement keep slipping? Well, there are many reasons, not the least of which are shifting budgets, priorities, and a lack of consistency.

Episode Notes
NASA scientist and astrobiologist Dr. Steve Vance tells us about the Europa Clipper mission, the spacecraft that will explore Jupiter's moon Europa in the next decade in search of life beyond Earth.
Scientists have been waiting for decades to get a closer look at Europa and other "Ocean Worlds" in our Solar System to see if life has made a home beneath their icy surfaces.

Episode Notes
Could it be that the reason we have found no evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence is that life is rarer than we think?
When you consider all possible conditions that went into making Earth habitable, it's entirely possible that life isn't plentiful in our Universe, and intelligent life even less so.

Episode Notes
What will it take for humans to live on Saturn's largest moons? With the right technology and commitment, Saturn and its system of moons could become the center of the new fusion economy! In addition, establishing settlements around Saturn could answer some of the deepest scientific questions, like how life emerged in our Solar System.
