Exploring Space: Podcast

I do lots of political podcasts on my site. Topics mainly revolve around politics in Montana, which I was just part of.

Well, I ran for the legislature and lost, so that's about it.

But I'm keeping up the pressure, and today we're talking about building infrastructure in the US that will allow us to have a similar outlet for people that the idea of the 'West' was back in the 1800s.

I wrote about this a lot in my book Tribes and Trappers and decided it would be a fun topic.

Mainly I'm worried that people on Earth are becoming increasingly unhappy with each other as overcrowding and a lack of resources rear their ugly heads.

So we've got to go under the seas into colonies or up into space. Private industry will drive that, just like it drove the opening of the West with the first fur trappers.

Those fur trappers really got going after 1806 and Lewis and Clark, and the 1820s was a big decade for them.
