China has successfully launched its Chang’e-5 space mission, an effort to make China the first nation in more than four decades to bring lunar rock and soil samples back to the Earth. The program’s greater ambitions are to culminate with an international lunar research station and ultimately a human colony on the Moon by the 2030s.

Futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, appeared on FOX Business to share his current thoughts and insights on China’s mission to the Moon, the new arms race here on Earth, and renewed interest in outer space by the private sector. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON WHAT IF: TYPE II CIVILIZATIONS

Will We Become A Type II Civilization?

How cool would it be if we could one day regulate our atmosphere, control the climate and maybe even blast threatening asteroids into stardust? Well, to do those things would require A LOT of energy.

Essentially, we’d have to be able to harness all the power from the Sun. According to the Kardashev scale that ranks planets according to their ability to harness the energy from their star and even their galaxy, that would make Earth a Type II civilization. What does that mean and how far away are we from achieving that level of uber energy capacity? You’ll have to tune in to find out as What If: Discussed welcomes back Dr. Michio Kaku, physicist and science communicator extraordinaire, to help us better understand “What If we became a type II civilization?”

KAKU ON FIRST BLACK HOLE IMAGE

KAKU ON SEARCH FOR EARTHLIKE PLANETS

Just days from launch, NASA‘s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) will embark on a two-year all-sky transit survey of our solar neighborhood and monitor over 200,000 bright stars in search of exoplanets. The endeavor is expected to reveal and identify thousands of previously unknown worlds, some of which may be Earth-like and therefore capable of supporting intelligent life. The ramifications of what we may find are simply staggering and stand to challenge our entire understanding of our place in the universe.
