In this week’s episode of Space Minds, award-winning science fiction author and physicist David Brin joins host David Ariosto for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of space, science, and humanity. From self-replicating probes and quantum sensing to moving Earth’s orbit and the true role of science fiction, Brin offers bold ideas grounded in decades of speculative thought and hard science. He challenges conventional wisdom on the Artemis program, discusses the risks and promises of artificial intelligence, and even makes the case for Yoda as history’s most evil character. Strap in — this is not your average sci-fi chat.
