Humans have been boldly launching into space for over half a century. What does the next 50 years look like for us as a spacefaring civilization? This talk will provide a crash course on the current state of our means of escaping the clutches of Earth's gravity, along with an exploration of exciting theoretical methods of future interstellar travel.

Our presenter:

Spencer is an astronomy graduate student at the University of Victoria. His work is focused on how artificial intelligence can be used to assist astronomers in understanding the formation and evolution of our galaxy. He is also fascinated by spaceflight and the future of our species.
