[NIAC 2023] Self-Building Radio Telescope On The Far Side of The Moon

The FarView Observatory is a NIAC project that's a giant self-building radio telescope on the far side of the Moon. In this interview, I'm discussing the details of the project with Dr Ronald Polidan who's managing the project. We also talk about the role of the Moon in the future of lunar exploration and how close we are to sending Von Neumann probes all over the Universe. 🦄 Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/universetoday 👉 More about the FarView Observatory NIAC Award: https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/niac/2023/FarView_Observatory/ 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:16 Current state of lunar exploration 00:03:22 What is the FarView Observatory 00:11:20 Step-by-step procedures 00:22:40 Limits of the project 00:35:08 Science objectives of FarView 00:47:17 Role of the Moon in future exploration 00:51:29 Von Neumann probes 01:00:55 What's next 📺 VIDEO VERSION https://youtu.be/a99QXRIO1g4 📰 EMAIL NEWSLETTER Read by 60,000 people every Friday.
