Space, Money, and Discovery

In this super edit of Brian Cox’s wisdom, we dive into the backstory behind James Webb Space Telescope funding and why the $6 million investment was not only appropriate but crucial for high-tech job creation through space exploration. We also explore moon formation theories and why iron might hold the key to understanding how the moon came to be. The origins of life on Earth and Mars reveal how the chemistry to biochemistry evolution played a pivotal role in our existence today, sparking an ongoing search for extraterrestrial microbes. Finally, we reflect on the significance of galaxies and cosmic meaning and how this highlights our human responsibility in the universe. Thanks Brian, we've got lots to think about!
