"Where is Everybody?" The Enduring Problem of Fermi's Paradox | Stories From Space Podcast With Matthew S Williams

In 1950, physicist Enrico Fermi posed the question that launched a thousand explanations. "Where is Everybody?" Where are the extraterrestrial civilizations that are supposed to be out there?Addressing that question requires immense research, further studies, and (above all) that we confront how little we know about life and intelligence in the Universe._______________________HostMatthew S WilliamsOn ITSPmagazine  👉 https://itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/matthew-s-williams______________________This Episode’s Sponsors______________________ResourcesBeyond Fermi's Paradox at Universe Today (a series)https://www.universetoday.com/?s=Beyond+Fermi%27s+Paradox______________________For more podcast Stories from Space with Matthew S Williams, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/stories-from-space______________________Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships

The Artemis Program will send astronauts to the lunar surface for the first time in over 50 years. Why did it take us this long to get "Back To The Moon"?Basically, the Apollo Program was a massive (and expensive) undertaking that was all about "getting there first." To go to the Moon in a way that ensures we can keep going back, several steps had to be taken first._______________________HostMatthew S WilliamsOn ITSPmagazine  👉 https://itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/matthew-s-williams______________________This Episode’s Sponsors______________________ResourcesNASA Artemis (homepage): https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis/The Apollo Program: https://airandspace.si.edu/learn/highlighted-topics-/apollo______________________For more podcast Stories from Space with Matthew S Williams, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/stories-from-space______________________Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships
