Space Whales & Bioships
Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/
The idea of spaceships or other machines that were essentially alive and able to repair and operate themselves has long been a popular one in science fiction. We'll take a look today at how that might be possible in the future, what advantages it would have for interplanetary or interstellar colonization, and how such biotechnology might lead to entire artificial ecosystems dwelling in the void of space.
