Expressway to Space ...

from A Conversation With Carl · host Carl Leibowitz

Ever wonder how we’ll keep satellites running without sending astronauts? Or how robots might soon build habitats on the Moon? I sat down with Dr. Gordon Roesler, former DARPA leader and President of Robots in Space,a true expert in space robotics, and his insights challenged my assumptions. “Twenty years from now,” he said, “we’ll have small habitats on the Moon with robots managing most of the heavy lifting—inspecting, repairing, building. The astronauts’ job will mainly be experiments and decision-making.”I realized something halfway through recording this conversation—space robot technology is advancing faster than I expected, and it’s promising a future where space becomes not just exploration, but also routine infrastructure.
