🌍 What Will Earth Look Like in 1000 Years? Will humanity collapse, thrive, or colonize the stars—and could alien civilizations detect us?

Join senior planetary astronomer Dr. Franck Marchis for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Jacob Haqq-Misra, astrobiologist and lead author of a groundbreaking study exploring 10 possible futures for Earth’s technosphere—the global network of our technologies—and what these futures mean for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).

🚀 From stable zero-growth societies to interstellar expansion, Dr. Haqq-Misra’s team models how Earth’s trajectory might look over the next millennium and what clues we might be sending into space. Could future Earth resemble a sci-fi utopia—or become invisible to alien observers?

👽 Learn how technosignatures like atmospheric pollution (yes, even nitrogen dioxide!) could help us find—or hide from—civilizations across the galaxy.

🔭 Whether you’re into space exploration, science fiction, or the future of humanity, this interview dives deep into the cosmic implications of our technological choices.
