In the context of all of our daily problems here in on earth, very few of us think about the cosmic threats that face our planet. Comet- or asteroid-collisions, nuclear holocausts, pandemics and gamma-radiation bursts are examples of threats that could wipe out our entire species.
In this module, learners will learn about the existential, cosmic and interstellar threats that face us. We will also attempt to derive potential solutions for these threats. We will also understand how space exploration and colonisation serves as “insurance” for the long-term future of our species.
