Are the space dreams of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos actually scientifically sound, or are they just expensive fantasies?
In this episode of It Turns Out, host Kara Miller sits down with astrophysicist Adam Becker, author of More Everything Forever, to dismantle the "Plan B" visions of Silicon Valley’s elite. They dive deep into why building Manhattan-sized space stations and million-person Mars colonies is a scientific nightmare, the flaws in AI doomsday scenarios, and the psychology of the "savior complex" driving the tech elite. Becker explains why extreme wealth can lead to a simplistic worldview, and why the most important solutions for humanity’s future aren’t in the stars, but right here on Earth.
