In this episode of Squaring the Circle, Randall Carlson breaks down the existential threats facing Earth — from asteroid impacts to cosmic dust events — and why a permanent lunar presence might be the only way to protect civilization from collapse.
We explore the science behind the Artemis program, asteroid defense strategies like the DART mission, and how building a lunar base could unlock not just survival, but expansion. From mineral-rich regolith to water ice at the poles, the Moon isn’t just a destination — it’s a planetary insurance policy.
🔭 You’ll learn:
Why the Moon is key to surviving the next extinction-level event
How lunar resources like carbon and nitrogen could fuel off-world colonies
What NASA and SpaceX are really building — and why it matters
How the Gateway station and Artemis program lay the groundwork for Mars
Why inaction could cost us everything
