    I lost my dad two months ago to a motorcycle accident. We lived far apart but we’d constantly share podcasts and UA-cam videos about space exploration and sci fi together.

So I can entirely relate. He also loves motorcycles (dirt bikes to be exact😊) i recently kinda pulled away from talking to him because of his drinking but after reading your post here I’m going to reach back out.
      Thank you for your post and I hope time heals all your wounds.

    The bit about staying awake and occupied on a long-term asteroid spaceship trip around 17:00 reminded me of Hugh Jackman's character in "The Fountain" where he's flying through space in his little bubble with his Tree of Life, eating bits of it for immortality and living as a kind of Buddhist monk doing Tai Chi and meditating for centuries while he waits for his arrival at the Xibalba nebula. Always loved that film.
    Also, what if humanity is currently in a cryosleep right now heading to a new world, and this life we have right now is a dream simulation of living on our old planet with all its major social, economic and environmental issues, the point being to have some fresh insights before we wake up to our new homeworld? Would be nice, maybe.

    I started reading Iaian Banks 'culture' series a few months ago. Really interesting to speculate about the integration of A.G.I. into a society and the sociological integration of a sentient creation. I'm not sure if the series explores a more blatant dystopian potential or realization associated with A.G.I (I'm only on book 5, 'excession' ). Excession seems to water the seeds planted in some of the previous books that the minds have an agenda that the culture is willfully or otherwise unaware of. I droned on, but I had to delete because I don't want to start throwing out spoilers. Great series of novels nonetheless. I'm interested to know what John's and Isaac's impressions are of this series...

    I feel like a space elevator would be a tube, basically a triangle of maybe graphene rolled so it's thickened at the top but the interior diameter is constant. It could be pretty tough against anything but a concerted attack. And multiple tubes could be clustered to give throughput in each direction, and different sizes for different types - like passengers and freight.

    You don't make a space elevator because you want the cheapest orbital access - After all, launch loops and orbital ring systems are way cheaper. No, you do it because you can DANGLE a whole city-scale space habitat on the other end, that means your counterweight is also a major location with millions of people living there. Even if it's low-throughput, the one tether invites more tethers, since it's a major location anyway.

    Isaac says he’s never published a work of fiction in his entire life? I disagree. Publishing isn’t limited to papers, books or print media. UA-cam is a publishing platform too. He’s made many videos from a hypothetical future persons point of view describing their life, work & possible experiences. This is still fiction even if it’s grounded as much as possible in hard science. Honestly, myself, I prefer grounded sci-fi to space opera. Star Wars will always be my favourite flick but it’s genre is filled with less than stellar works. Stories & shows like The Expanse & the Galactica reboot make it so much easier to suspend disbelief as there’s less fantasy to obfuscate. I was really hoping Disney would make a grounded Black Hole reboot. Looks like they’ve dropped it. It’s a shame. A modern version of the Cygnus hanging next to a gravity well & more adult friendly robots could’ve made for some real spectacle with thought provoking science.

    That movie _Event Horizon_ is a great fable in disguise. You can go ANYWHERE in the universe if you're willing to go through hell to get there.

    Such a nice long and interesting episode! It’s always a treat to hear Isaac Arthur! The idea of being frozen and revitalized at a later period of time is quite fascinating. The Three Body Problem series by Cixin Liu is perhaps my favorite series that covers the topic.
