Accelerating technology has implications across the spectrum, from us living longer healthier lives, solving the worlds biggest problems, to opening up space exploration like never before. This is Deep Space Drones. The podcast that deconstructs the latest science and technology breakthroughs, the obsticles they face, and the opportunities they create.
Artificial Intelligence is alive and evolving in practically everything new these days. Well, I think it is anyways. It depends on what we mean by artificial intelligence. Definitions vary. How ever we define what AI is; There are some common characteristics that emerge. AI can emerge from one or many technologies. AI does things we generally relat…

Nothing too serious here. Just poking some fun at our real life super heroes. Sponsored by http://GloryDoesntComeCheap.com Unleash Your Superhero!
What is the most abundant life in the Universe? That’s a bold question, considering we have yet to see undisputed proof that ET even exists. The only model we have, is on Earth. So let’s unpack that, and see what we end up with. Earth, 4.6 billion years old. That’s our scale. The scale has already been split into four eons. The first eon is called …
Our sensors are picking up, no wait, we have a visual. Computer, put it on screen. Whoa, that’s new. The image is showing two, not one but two planets in orbit around it’s parent star. It’s not exactly a hi rez image, but it’s enough to be only the second time a multi-planetary system has been captured using direct imaging. The host star is called …
Podcasting for the first time from our sound studio in CollabSpace, Ottawa, Canada. Our sensors are picking up a new planet, 920 light years away is orbiting a star in what’s called a 'Neptunian Desert'. This is an area of space so close to a star that if were the size of Neptune with all that beautiful blue super-thick atmosphere, would simply hav…
The Great 415ppm CO2 Event All planets, as far as we know, have atmospheres. We can see alien atmospheres by looking at the light from their own sun passing through them. When looking for new life, a target atmosphere must be able to protect life on the surface. Although the sun gives life, without the right kind of atmosphere, the Sun's rays can b…
It’s in our DNA. That’s a big statement. For life to build itself up, it needs structure which comes from the elements, carbon, oxygen, calcium, everything that we find in stars. But to take all that building material, and turn it into a living, breathing life form, well you’re gonna need instructions. A, T, C, & G. Every living thing we know of ha…
In the early 2000s, data about extra solar planets was trickling in at dial-up modem speed. As of right now May, 2019, we have data on l over 4’000 planets. Exoplanet are detected using a handful of methods. One way, called the transit method, is the best way to find and learn about most of them. When a planet crosses the path (transits) between us…
In our continuing quest to discover alien life one question keeps popping up. How will we recognize alien life when we find it? Life is a word with multiple meanings. We don’t yet have a perfect definition for what life is, but it hasn’t stopped us from trying. What we have done is define some of life’s main attributes. 1. Life is chemistry based, …
Earth, the only planet in the Universe, known to harbour life. And life on Earth has flourished, some say maybe too successfully. If everyone ate like an average American, we would need four Earths. Whew! I’m sure glad we don’t all eat like average Americans. A Super-Earth is a planet bigger than earth, not as big a Uranus and Neptune. These ice gi…
AI is being used to analyse previously archived astronomical data, and has discovered something previously undetected, signals from a long time ago, coming from a galaxy far, far away. In this episode, we explore why aliens are suspected and how they might not have anything to do with it at all. Buckle up! Coming out of hyperspace now...…
Sky Disruption (How to become a Trillionaire) Yes, you read it right. The sky itself is heading toward disruption. We are injecting the sky, not just the cloud, but the entire sky, with AI. We are digitizing outer space. Why is this happening? There’s gold in them thar hills. Earth's first Trillionaire will be made by disrupting the sky. Gold Fever…
Really? Are we actually considering arming hyper-intelligent systems? The question should be, how do we stop the development of strong artificial intelligence from becoming weaponized? Not all AI's are alike. Todays AI's like SIRI, Alexa, Google, and Cortana are essentially wave 2 AI's, our digital assistants. Wave 3 AI's are expected to be a much …
Two new pieces of evidence found on Mars point to the existence of past and possible present life.
Original evidence for planet 9 surfaced in 2014. It's existence could explain the odd behaviour of trans-Neptunian objects. So far all efforts to detect this super-Earth have failed. Music: bensound.com: The Lounge

Hear the launch and details of the SpaceX launch of the NASA TESS Spacecraft. TESS will look at 400 times more sky than the previous Kepler spacecraft. So far 3,800 Exoplanets have been discovered. TESS is expected to discover over 20,000 more.
Why we need 5G First of all, what is 5G. 5G is the next generation of mobile network that is faster and more reliable. How fast? We don’t know exactly yet, but expect to be over a 1GBps. Most people are saying 10Gb/s. Some people say that it may be able to handle 800Gb/s. Compared to today’s 4G LTE at 50Mbps its several orders of magnitude faster. …
The $600 million Kepler space observatory was launched March 7, 2009 to find Earth sized planets orbiting stars, known as exoplanets. It has been surveying a part of our Milky Way galaxy for planets in or near the habitable zone, where water could exist in liquid form, and be able to support life. Now, a new way to find previously hidden alien worl…

The European Space Agency (ESA) and and the China National Space Administration (CNSA) are talking about collaborating on a very ambitious project. And, unlike the International Space Station, the ISS, they plan to open up the Moon Village to the whole world. …
The deep space drones podcast has been fun to make, and I, Claude Chateauvert, have learned a lot. But this your podcast, not mine. It’s on your device. It gets copied and redistributed from one site to another, bouncing all over the Internet. It’s open source soundware. Just about 10 thousand of you are now following Deep Space Drones on Twitter. …
For life to exist as we know it, there must be an ocean and a source of energy, no sun required. Deep in the Earth's oceans, where there is no sun, hot vents provide the energy for life. So, find an ocean, with hot vents, find life, Simple. So where are these oceans worlds? Find out, in this episode.…
