Seeding Humanity’s Legacy: Sending DNA into Space with Ben Haldeman

Season 3 Episode 12

Rocket scientist and visionary Ben Haldeman is on a mission to create a blueprint of life on Earth and send it out into the universe.

In conversation with Nick, Ben introduces his astronomical venture LifeShip, the Noah’s Ark of the new space age, that has already sent the DNA of 500 species into the cosmos.

The intention? To back up Earth and spread life to the stars. The dream? To populate new worlds with these seeds of earthly life, consciousness and culture.

Tune in as Nick and Ben uncover the magnitude of this mission, and the giant leap of expansive opportunity and existential inquiry that LifeShip is launching humanity into.
