SRIC4 #15: “Building and living in space” – with Isaac Arthur
Abstract
This is the 15th preliminary webinar of the IV SRI World Congress. We, at Space Renaissance, are very interested to understanding more on a few concepts illustrated by Isaac Arthur in his online lectures program:
- Orbital Foundries & Zero G Manufacturing, Building in Space (
• Orbital Foundries & Zero G Manufacturing -… ), - Space Habitat Clusters & Conglomerations ( • Space Habitat Clusters & Conglomerations ).
All of these topics are of great actuality, in the incoming scenario of the cislunar space economy and the kick-off of civilian space development, a key focus for our IV SRI World Congress. Some of our experts, plus Adriano V. Autino, will pose questions to Isaac, in a broad conversation-interview style. Participants to the panel include:
- Alberto Cavallo, co-chair of the Space Tech & Industry Commitee (expert in Energy and scholar of space transportation and propulsion)
- Werner Grandl, chair of the Space Tech & Industry Commitee (expert of architecture and civil enginneering)
- Jerry Stone, chair of the Space Habitats Committee (father of the Island Zero project)
- Adriano V. Autino, SRI, CEO & Founder
An essential bio
Isaac Arthur — President, National Space Society — is the creator of the wildly successful “Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur,” an award-winning weekly science education and entertainment show with over 700,000 subscribers and over 400 episodes on YouTube. The show covers a wide range of futuristic concepts including space technology, development, and exploration, and focuses on how humanity or other hypothetical advanced civilizations may behave logistically, technologically, and socially, both in the near and distant future, under the understood laws of science. Past episodes have examined communities in space, planetary terraforming, interstellar exploration, space megastructure engineering, cybernetics, transhumanism, artificial intelligence, the Fermi Paradox, the possible existence of alien civilizations, post-scarcity economies, and much more. Arthur is also a regular guest on a variety of news and entertainment shows ranging from online productions to national radio shows, and he consults on science fiction books and video games. Arthur attended Kent State University majoring in physics and graduating top of his class at age 20, and served in the United States Army during the Iraq war. When not working on his show, Arthur serves as the chair of the Ashtabula, Ohio Board of Elections under the Ohio Secretary of State. Isaac’s wife, Sarah Fowler Arthur, was elected to the House of Representatives for Ohio in 2020, and previously was elected to the State Board of Education from 2013-2020. They and their three children live on their farm in Plymouth, Ohio.
