Recent unscripted video from Cody Reeder of Cody’sLab.

I don’t agree with several of his points, but he raises some interesting issues nonetheless.

Any thoughts on the optimal ways to balance human space exploration with planetary protection?

    War: as long as we all live on earth we are very unlikely to destroy the planet in a war.

    As soon as we have a second functional planet… Destroying the earth is now a valid military strategy

      A “functional” independent civilization on Mars is a long way (millennia) off, and not really relevant to the topic of the video. Cody is advocating for a ban on all human Mars missions, even short term research missions. I’m not sure that this is feasible, reasonable, or wise.
