The FarView Observatory is a NIAC project that's a giant self-building radio telescope on the far side of the Moon. In this interview, I'm discussing the details of the project with Dr Ronald Polidan who's managing the project. We also talk about the role of the Moon in the future of lunar exploration and how close we are to sending Von Neumann probes all over the Universe. 🦄 Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/universetoday👉 More about the FarView Observatory NIAC Award:https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/niac/2023/FarView_Observatory/00:00:00 Intro00:01:16 Current state of lunar exploration00:03:22 What is the FarView Observatory00:11:20 Step-by-step procedures00:22:40 Limits of the project00:35:08 Science objectives of FarView00:47:17 Role of the Moon in future exploration00:51:29 Von Neumann probes01:00:55 What's next📺 VIDEO VERSIONhttps://youtu.be/a99QXRIO1g4📰 EMAIL NEWSLETTERRead by 60,000 people every Friday.
