Robert Walker on the Space Show today – Mars colonization, etc.

I recently mentioned a couple of interesting essays on Science 2.0 by the “inventor and programmer” Robert Walker  he which he discussed the use of asteroids to enable colonization of the solar system and what such colonization implies for the Fermi Paradox. He has many more such essays on his blog. The latest entry is With Mars Far From Ideal, Where Is The Best Place To Colonize In The Solar System?

Walker will be on The Space Show today to talk about such things – Twitter / SpaceShow:
