Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains Generational Spaceships

What if you lived your whole life on a spaceship and never saw the final destination? On this StarTalk explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice investigate generational spaceships.

We discuss the ethical questions posed by the idea of generational spaceships. Would you ever plan to come back to Earth? Neil and Chuck ponder the idea of artificial incubation and Chuck raves about the new show Raised by Wolves.

Lastly, Chuck tells us why he wants astronauts to come back with superpowers after a long journey away from Earth. All that, plus, you’ll hear why Earth itself is a generational ship.
