SUMMARY:Astropolitics
DESCRIPTION:SRI supports peaceful\, civilian expansion into outer space. But there is another point of view about space and expansion into it\, not just as peaceful. Geopolitics is the study of international relations in consideration of geography – that is\, how human as well as physical geography affects the relations among states and state-like organizations. The term Astropolitics is already established for indicating the extension of geopolitics to outer space.\nSpace is already playing a relevant\, if not decisive\, role in the competition among nations for predominance on Earth. Its importance in the current Ukrainian war is well recognizable. But space has been connected to weapons since the very first flight of an human made object beyond the atmosphere. The Outer Space Treaty banned the placement of weapons of mass destruction in space\, but its use for information collection\, a.k.a. spying\, as well as military communication and other purposes relevant to the defense area\, went on anyway. Geopolitical analysts have been considering space in the competition for power among nations for decades. It is widely recognized that the theories devised by Alfred T. Mahan in the XIX century about sea power can be now extended to space. Competition among nations on strategic locations and resources in space has already started. A significant international collaboration among USA\, its allies and Russia took place across the century change\, but in the current situation it is coming to an end. China has always been kept out of it and is now aggressively pursuing its own goals. Can humanity expand into space without bringing its rivalries there? We hope not\, but likely the pursuit of power will be the main engine of expansion.\n \nA short bio\nAlberto Cavallo is an Electrical Engineer\, graduated at the Politecnico di Torino in 1985. He began his activity with designing electric systems in Fiat Engineering\, the engineering and construction company of the FIAT Group\, moving soon to control and automation systems in the same company. He was involved in all business areas of the company\, which included revamping and new projects of car factories for the FIAT Group as well as large infrastructures\, power and cogeneration plants for external clients. Among the projects of that time were the new FIAT factories in Melfi and Pratola Serra\, the high speed railways Torino-Milano and Bologna-Firenze\, the district heating system of Torino Sud\, combined cycle power plants for several hundred megawatts in Italy and in Brazil. Since Fiat Engineering was transferred from the FIAT Group to a new EPC group and then merged with a large EPC company in Milan\, he has been involved in large oil and gas and petrochemical projects all over the world. Besides his professional activity\, he has always taken part in several cultural activities. He was a member of the Associations of Alumni of the Liceo Classico Vittorio Alfieri of Turin\, active in promoting humanistic culture as well as its connection to the technical and scientific area. He manages his own website www.eurinome.it (in Italian only) about philosophy\, science and politics/geopolitics. Due to this he got in contact with Adriano Autino and his TDF\, then becoming one of the founding members of Space Renaissance International. Besides several papers in his professional area he has written several articles for his own site\, for TDF and SRI\, coauthoring the book “Three Theses for the Space Renaissance” with Adriano Autino and Patrick Q. Collins. He is currently member of the Board of SRI. \nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/361185362796181\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/PzFkoR1z7Pk

SUMMARY:The Cosmic Zoo Hypothesis and the Expected Diversity of Planetary Alien Habitats
DESCRIPTION:The Cosmic Zoo hypothesis states that if life originates on a planetary body it will eventually evolve to become complex\, meaning plant- and animal-like\, if the planet or moon stays habitable long enough (in general billions of years). Multiple biochemically pathways have been invented through natural selection to arrive at Earth´s biosphere as it is now. If we screen the known planets and moons in our Solar System\, and also the thousands of planets outside of our Solar System\, we can derive a subset of these planets that could harbor life\, some of them life as we don´t know it and a few of them possibly complex life.\n \nA short bio\nDirk Schulze-Makuch received his Ph.D. in geosciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Afterwards he took up a fellowship at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center\, worked as Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at El Paso\, and later as Associate and Full Professor at Washington State University. In 2010 he received the Friedrich-Wilhelm Bessel Award from the Humboldt Foundation for extraordinary achievements in theoretical biology. Since 2013 he is a faculty member at the Technical University Berlin in Germany and holds a professorship for planetary habitability and astrobiology\, leading the Astrobiology Research Group. He still is Adjunct Professor at Washington State University and also an Associate Member of SETI. Dirk published more than 200 papers and 8 books in the field of planetary habitability and astrobiology\, including the 3rd edition of Life in the Universe: Expectations and Constraints and The Cosmic Zoo: Complex Life on Many Worlds\, first published in 2017. Since 2016 Dirk is president of the German Astrobiological Society and council member of the European Astrobiology Network. He gave interviews in scientific television documentaries such as National Geographic and Discovery Channel (USA)\, NHK-TV (Japan)\, ARD and RTL (Germany)\, and reports about his research appeared in media and news outlets such as Science\, Popular Science\, Discovery Magazine\, New Scientist\, World Science\, Natural History Magazine\, BBC\, CNN\, MSNBC\, etc.\nMore information can be found on his website https://www.searchforlifeintheuniverse.com/\n\n\nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1276600586213700/\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/4J37eAkELmM

SUMMARY:The hunt for life on Mars\, with Ulrich Köhler
DESCRIPTION:Is there\, or was there life anywhere else out there in the Solar System? This question could indeed be answered in our time. The spacefaring nations and organizations sent and send super high-tech spacecraft to our neighboring planet Mars where scientists think the life had good chances to exist in the past\, or even today. They observe the planet’s surface and its atmosphere from orbit\, and they sniff for biosignatures with mobile robotic devices on the ground. Samples taken today will be brought to the laboratories on Earth in about ten years.\n \nA brief bio\nUlrich Köhler is a planetary geologist at DLR’s Institute of Planetary research in Berlin. He studied Geology in Munich and spent a year for his diploma thesis at Universidade Estadual Paulista\, Rio Claro (SP\, Brasil). At DLR he started 1991 with the analysis of multispectral imaging data from NASA’s Galileo probe passing the Moon twice and arriving 1995 at the Jovian system\, transmitting image data from the Galilean Satellites. 1999-2000 he was at Brown University (Providence\, RI) on a NASA grant. Returning to DLR\, besides the Moon his focus then was Mars where DLR has the famous High Resolution Stereo Camera in orbit on ESA’s Mars Express orbiter. Ulrich is the coordinator of the institute’s Education and Public Outreach activities.\n\nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/5331930816902399/\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/hCEgPkc8QCc
