Il n'y a pas de planète B

Description disponible en anglais uniquement.

We have entered the era of New Space… when commercial interests, long eager for access to space, have been given the green light and are finally making headway.

This raises the question: Will the routine use of space by commercial enterprise be what it is currently advertised to be? Will mining asteroids save the Earth? Will moving human civilization to Earth-orbiting space colonies or terraforming and colonizing Mars avoid human extinction from natural disaster? And what of space tourism, or the 60,000+ internet satellites that are currently planned for low Earth orbit? Is any of it even realistic?

What will all this mean for humanity?

Carolyn Porco, a long-time, award-winning veteran of solar system exploration, will give her take on recent developments in space exploration and what it means for human existence, now and in the future.
