Description

Humanity is at a crossroads. In this episode of The Big Picture, Becket and Randall Carlson explore what it will take to become a spacefaring civilization — and why we must.

We break down the International Space Station as a working model of global cooperation, China’s expanding presence on the Moon, and the race toward helium-3 and fusion energy. 

From geopolitical alignment to long-term thinking, we look at what humanity is doing right now that works — and what’s standing in the way.

Topics covered include:

Why the ISS still matters

The role of international cooperation in space

China’s lunar missions and energy strategy

Helium-3 and the future of fusion

The mindset required to build beyond Earth

This is a serious look at where we are, what’s possible, and how we get there, if we choose to.
