Future Cultural Bridges Through SciFi


Dr. Larisa Mikhaylova, Lomonosov Moscow State University, discusses images from science fiction literature and films which have addressed human interaction in space (created by Frederick Pohl, Ivan Yefremov, Arthur C. Clarke, in Star Trek, Avatar, etc.)at the weekly SETI colloquium.

Mikhaylova discussed the results of recent internet contests of SF about space in Russia and the 'Back to the Future' contest conducted by NASA. Ethical aspects of space exploration are manifold, and there is hope that looking at human conflicts from an extraterrestrial angle still may help to solve pressing problems today and create a livable future.
