- Crisis
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

I hope that by 2050 the entire solar system will have been explored and mapped by flotillas of tiny robotic craft.

- Nov 07, 2020
Some claim that computers will, by 2050, achieve human capabilities. Of course, in some respects they already have.
- Ideas
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Scientists surely have a special responsibility. It is their ideas that form the basis of new technology. They should not be indifferent to the fruits of their ideas. They should forgo experiments that are risky or unethical.
- Cold War
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one. Superpower rivalry during the Cold War ramped up U.S. and Soviet space efforts to a scale that Western Europe had no motive to match.

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not myself religious but have no wish to insult or denigrate those who are.
- Commitment
- |

The 'clean energy' challenge deserves a commitment akin to the Manhattan project or the Apollo moon landing.
- Now
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think a few hundred years from now we'll start having the 'posthuman' era of different species.
- Energy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Devastation could arise insidiously, rather than suddenly, through unsustainable pressure on energy supplies, food, water and other natural resources. Indeed, these pressures are the prime 'threats without enemies' that confront us.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We need to broaden our sympathies both in space and time - and perceive ourselves as part of a long heritage, and stewards for an immense future.
- Canterbury
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have no religious belief myself, but I don't think we should fight about it. In particular, I think that we should not rubbish moderate religious leaders like the Archbishop of Canterbury because I think we all agree that extreme fundamentalism is a threat, and we need all the allies we can muster against it.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you take 10,000 people at random, 9,999 have something in common: their interests in business lie on or near the Earth's surface. The odd one out is an astronomer, and I am one of that strange breed.
- Challenge
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We can trace things back to the earlier stages of the Big Bang, but we still don't know what banged and why it banged. That's a challenge for 21st-century science.
- Disaster

- Nov 07, 2020
In our interconnected world, novel technology could empower just one fanatic, or some weirdo with a mindset of those who now design computer viruses, to trigger some kind of disaster. Indeed, catastrophe could arise simply from technical misadventure - error rather than terror.
