[Live] 12 Streams #4 – On The Future Prospects for Humanity – Lord Martin Rees

[ISOC_live]

There's nothing like putting things in perspective! This presentation from
our annual stream of the ACC Awards certainly does that. As humanity, or
whatever supersedes it, moves off-planet, one thing is for sure, to
communicate they will be using DTN protocols as pioneered by the *Internet
Society InterPlanetary Networking SIG* <http://ipnsig.org/>. Lord Rees
himself was in the news today, having a go at Elon Musk for "*despoiling
the vault of heaven*
