[NIAC 2023] Self-Building Radio Telescope On The Far Side of The Moon

Published: April 27, 2023, 4 p.m.

The FarView Observatory is a NIAC project that's a giant self-building radio telescope on the far side of the Moon. In this interview, I'm discussing the details of the project with Dr Ronald Polidan who's managing the project. We also talk about the role of the Moon in the future of lunar exploration and how close we are to sending Von Neumann probes all over the Universe.
