Open Space 100: Did We Really Detect a Signal from Proxima Centauri? And More...
In this week's last QA of 2020, I go long answering questions about space and astronomy. I talk about the news of a radio signal received from Proxima Centauri, an update on my attempts to learn Mandarin Chinese, and a long diatribe about megaconstellations and their impact on astronomy.

Great take on re-usable rockets as well as Starlink. Both of these are practically solved, we just need to work on perfecting them now. Next to solve is humans living in space and fast travel to other solar systems. The first one is just a lot of work, but I think that when we manage to create an AGI this will speed up solving the issues. So just sit back for a decade or two ;-)
Fraser, it sure would be nice if I could speed the audio up on these. I’m 73 and time is ... precious. I miss your 10-20 minute specialty subject vids.
David, where are you watching this? On the phone in the Patreon I see the Vimeo link at the top doesn't have speed options. But the YouTube link at the bottom does.
