We also talked about how much longer the Earth will remain habitable, and if it could be possible to replace Arecibo.00:00:00 Start00:03:35 How much longer with the Earth be habitable?00:06:30 The great conjunction00:09:11 Is nuclear power a good option in space?00:13:31 What is the future of the ISS?00:18:24 What are the chances of replacing Arecibo?00:21:57 Couldn't we melt down the station for raw material?00:23:35 What do I think of Axiom's private space station?00:27:28 What's the best supernova candidate?00:32:25 Could we add mass to Mars to restart its core?00:36:03 Am I excited about the next Gaia release?00:40:45 Are we looking backwards in time?00:42:00 How's Chinese going?00:46:39 What's the future of the Thirty Meter Telescope?00:50:24 Will there be more international collaboration?00:54:45 How much of the Universe has already disappeared?00:56:33 Future telescope names?00:57:00 Legit warp drive?00:59:45 Any value putting a telescope on Mars?Our Book is out!https://www.amazon.com/Universe-Today-Ultimate-Viewing-Cosmos/dp/1624145442/Audio Podcast version:ITunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/universe-today-guide-to-space-audio/id794058155?mt=2RSS: https://www.universetoday.com/audioWhat Fraser's Watching Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbJ42wpShvmkjd428BcHcCEVWOjv7cJ1GWeekly email newsletter:https://www.universetoday.com/newsletterWeekly Space Hangout:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0-KklSGlCiJDwOPdR2EUcg/Astronomy Cast:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUHI67dh9jEO2rvK--MdCSgSupport us at: https://www.patreon.com/universetodayMore stories at: https://www.universetoday.com/Twitch: https://twitch.tv/fcainFollow us on Twitter: @universetodayLike us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/universetodayInstagram - https://instagram.com/universetodayTeam: Fraser Cain - @fcain / [email protected] Thompson - @karlaii / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEItkORQYd4Wf0TpgYI_1fwChad Weber - [email protected] Universe Today Podcast
