 This week's random topic is UAPs and Aliens!Meagan and Jeff use current events as a topic starter and dive in to their thoughts and feelings on aliens.  Meagan knows that if they won't tell us what happened it must mean something BIG happened.  Jeff dives into the ethics of generation ships and space exploration.What are you favorite science fiction films and/or shows?

Our quoting in this episode is in no way an intentional meaning of that and we apologize if it comes across that way. We have nothing but love for Will Smith and his role in Independence Day.

Two Nerds sat down to watched the recent film Voyagers with some excitement, because there are a vanishingly small number of actual generation ships in film. There are oodles of long haul ships, like the Nostromo, where its crew and passengers are put in hibernation of some kind. There are precious few fictional voyages where the ship's population will live out their entire lives on board, and whose children will, and grandchildren; where the destination is so far away that it will take lifetimes to get there. (I'm also talking film, not books, because there are tons of generation ship narratives in print.) Unfortunately, Voyagers was so infuriatingly bad we had to turn it off in disgust and read the wiki to learn the ending. I'm glad I didn't actually watch that; I would have thrown a clot. In this episode we discuss some of the other generation ship films out there -- most specifically Aniara -- and a couple generation ship books -- notably Kim Stanley Robinson's Aurora.

We add the intro to the song Back That Azz Up (by Juvenile), the sci-fi concept of generation ships, and coffee to the List of Every Damn Thing.

A Journey to the Edge of Time and Space Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/ As we continue our look at Generation Ships, vast vessels designed to carry many thousands of colonists to distant and alien worlds centuries away, we must ask just how far and how long such ships can be made to last? Can space ships be made that will endure even longer voyages of thousands or even millions of years in the void of interstellar or even intergalactic space? Will ships, and their crews, fall apart or turn into Cargo Cults who no longer remember how their technology functions or what their mission was?

A continued look at Generation Ships and Interstellar Colonization. Check out Cheddar's video on the Sun: https://chdr.tv/youtue6886 In order to colonize the galaxy, we are going to have to spend huge times on board equally huge spaceships. To move thousands of people, and our ecosystem, to distant planets, will require not only giant ark-like starships, but entire fleets of them. Today we will examine how we could do this even if physics never offers us any superior methods in the future for covering the void of interstellar space faster.

Today we will begin our look at the spaceships we might use for colonizing interstellar space in the future. In order to cover the vast distances between even the nearest stars in our galaxy within the boundaries of known physics, we need vessels able to voyage at high speeds for very long periods of time while carrying everything they need to colonize another solar system, a concept typically known as a space ark or generation ship. We will explore the challenges and options for such a vessel, as well as some alternative approaches to the problem.

In this special bonus episode, SPEXcast discusses the concept of generation ships. Barring extreme advances in space travel technology and our understanding of physics, it could take hundreds or thousands of years to send humans to other worlds. This would necessite self sustaining societies to exist on these vessels, acting as caretakers for the human race until they arrive at their new home. We discuss the moral implications of sending our successors off into space with no chance of seeing their final destination.
