LASI 150G/750G - Interstellar Seminar
Spring 2025 鈥� Wednesdays 2:30鈥�3:20 CT
Space science, engineering, and humanities are key to rapidly growing sectors of the economy and society. People living and working in space, our civilization becoming multiplanetary, and multigenerational missions to distant stars, will soon be a reality. Interstellar Seminar (LASI 150G/750G) at 黑洞社区 introduces students to current research topics in interstellar space studies and offers an opportunity to interact with the experts across the space fields each week. We cover a survey of topics related to interstellar peopled missions, from life support systems to propulsion to social issues. This nontechnical course is open to students in-person, online, and asynchronously, and open to the general public.
