The extreme cold nearly killed Ernest Shackleton on his first expedition to Antarctica, as he battled snow blindness and frostbite. Deep sea divers must combat high pressure and claustrophobic darkness as they explore the unknown reaches of the ocean floor. Even researchers like Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey must prepare their bodies and minds to live in relative isolation in order to spend decades in largely unpopulated regions among their animal subjects.<\/p>\n<p>Space is the newest frontier that encompasses both mankind\u2019s attraction to the unknown and its tenacity in the face of impossibility. Fifty years ago, the first man walked on the moon, and today, a manned mission to Mars feels within reach. However, space exploration has always required mental and physical fortitude, and the qualifications for becoming an astronaut are notoriously stringent. And despite the exponential learning curve in this field, we still don\u2019t know how human beings will react \u2014 mentally or physiologically \u2014 to months or even years on extraterrestrial soil.<\/p>\n<p>In this unscripted panel discussion, two-time Olympic gold medalist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/speaker\/ashton-eaton\/\">Ashton Eaton<\/a>, New York Times fitness journalist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/speaker\/gretchen-reynolds\/\">Gretchen Reynolds<\/a>, and outdoor photographer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/speaker\/michael-clark\/\">Michael Clark<\/a>\u00a0will examine the ways in which we can prepare our bodies and minds for survival in extreme, uncharted, and unknown environments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-item\"><h2 class=\"accordion-header mt-0 mb-0\" id=\"heading-1-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\"><button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse1-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse1-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-quarters me-2\"><\/i> Extremophile Cities<\/button><\/h2><div id=\"collapse1-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading1-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordionaccordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\"><div class=\"accordion-body\"><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#IPFest 2019 Panel: &quot;Extremophile Cities&quot;\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KADFrS4oUa4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen title=\"#IPFest 2019 Panel: \"Extremophile Cities\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As people continue to flock to cities, new developments in urban design, architecture, and technology are transforming how we live, work, commute, eat, and learn in urban environments. The rapid rise of the Digital Age has all but reinvented our day-to-day urban lives, as breakthroughs in science and technology muddy the waters between the physical world and the cyber world. There\u2019s no doubt the New York, London, and Buenos Aires of today would shock city-dwellers from a century ago, who traveled without checking directions on an iPhone, lived in apartments insulated with asbestos, and had never heard of recycling plants.<\/p>\n<p>But 21st century cities face new obstacles every day, which require bold solutions that will upend urban life once more. Population increases, housing crunches, food and water shortages, the spread of disease, and the onset of war are all problems accosting our rapidly-growing cities. Meanwhile, climate change is already starting to impact metropolises across the globe as rising temperatures and weather phenomena cause financial, infrastructural, and societal devastation. In the not too distant future, we will all be living in cities confronted with extreme environmental, social, and political challenges. We might even build cities on other planets altogether, where we will have a clean slate to plan ethical, resource-efficient, and eco-conscious urban spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The Extremophile Cities panel discussion with urban designer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/speaker\/nicholas-de-monchaux\/\">Nicholas de Monchaux<\/a>, architect and former astrophysicist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/speaker\/ann-pendleton-jullian\/\">Ann Pendleton-Jullian<\/a>, urban soundscape designer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/speaker\/jake-harper\/\">Jake Harper<\/a>, and business strategist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/speaker\/suparno-banerjee\/\">Suparno Banerjee<\/a>\u00a0will address the complex issues and collective solutions of urban life in severe environments, from cites that might be underwater in a few decades to those we might create on other planets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-item\"><h2 class=\"accordion-header mt-0 mb-0\" id=\"heading-2-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\"><button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse2-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse2-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-water me-2\"><\/i> Oceans First, Space Second Keynote<\/button><\/h2><div id=\"collapse2-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading2-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordionaccordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\"><div class=\"accordion-body\"><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interplanetary Festival Day 1\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ONW-EPwEwfY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Zero-gravity environments.

Maybe life began in the depths of the ocean, or with an electric spark, or in a small pond that repeatedly dried. Perhaps the answer to this question will be found through our understanding of the role that RNA played in the evolution of early life, or maybe there are myriad ways for life to start.<\/p>\n<p>Figuring out the source of all life on our own planet is tricky enough, but scientists are also setting their sights on the possibility of the existence of life in space. In this case, we don\u2019t mean Laika the dog orbiting Earth or human volunteers one day colonizing Mars, but life forms that originated and organized their own way of life on other planets. While we might not yet know if life exists outside of own biosphere or solar system, in order to discover and identify other living beings in the universe, we must first understand how life itself originates.<\/p>\n<p>The Building Life from Scratch panel discussion will feature biologist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/speaker\/chris-kempes\/\">Chris Kempes<\/a>, botanist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/speaker\/david-baum\/\">David Baum<\/a>,\u00a0chemist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/speaker\/kate-adamala\/\">Kate Adamala<\/a>, and\u00a0journalist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/interplanetaryfest.org\/speaker\/alexandra-witze\/\">Alexandra Witze<\/a>\u00a0as they address one approach to the origins of life question:\u00a0building new and different types of life from scratch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-item\"><h2 class=\"accordion-header mt-0 mb-0\" id=\"heading-4-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\"><button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse4-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse4-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-moon-stars me-2\"><\/i> Lunar Library Keynote<\/button><\/h2><div id=\"collapse4-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading4-accordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordionaccordion-block-block_71c5075ab42c5633c751d6785dfeb13d\"><div class=\"accordion-body\"><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interplanetary Festival Day 1\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ONW-EPwEwfY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Arch Mission\u2019s Nova Spivak speaks about the successful 2019 launch to the moon.<\/p>\n<p>The Arch Lunar Library\u2122 represents the first in a series of lunar archives from the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archmission.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arch Mission Foundation<\/a>, designed to preserve the records of our civilization for up to billions of years.

Games come in many forms, from abstract puzzles to adventure games with quests and backstories to simulations where players race cars and fly airplanes. Game design requires world building, which often mimics the complex landscape of narratives, behaviors, environments, and problem solving that we see in real life.<\/p>\n<p>Technological advancements have allowed for new ways to experience gameplay, different platforms for game design, and creative methods of storytelling and strategizing. Social networks allow for increased interconnectivity between users, while mobile gaming enables location to become another dimension of game design.

We can give people the ability to turn invisible or invent an Earth whose air has become unbreathable. We can describe a society that has made wealth illegal or create a world where humans don\u2019t even exist. The limits are only as narrow as our imaginations.<\/p>\n<p>World building requires consideration of the many different elements that make up complex systems. Geography, culture, government, technology, and even supernatural abilities are all in conversation with each other, connected like the threads of a spider web.

Children seem to grow up at an astonishing rate, while under the same roof, our own grey hairs and wrinkles slowly appear, year after year. To a mayfly, one day is a lifetime, but to a planet, millennia are gone in a blip.

To us, time might feel like a relentless arrow hurtling forward towards an unreachable target, but to our ever-expanding universe, time isn\u2019t composed of a clearly delineated past, present, and future.

For animals of lesser individual intelligence, they often make better decisions by using the collective wisdom of the entire group. Flocks of birds rely on group intel to find the best trees at dinnertime, and herds of elk improve their chances of survival by communicating with each other about the presence of dangerous predators.<\/p>\n<p>But not all intelligence is biological. Advancements in AI and machine learning demonstrate a level of comprehension and problem solving that is rapidly approaching human-level brainpower. Computers are already able to win chess games against champions, make mathematical computations at warp speed, and mimic our language and conversations. Even networks like the Internet, the stock market, and the health care system are all forms of complex intelligence. And as we venture further into the universe, perhaps we will find forms of extraterrestrial intelligence that are biological, artificial, or something else altogether.<\/p>\n<p>The Diverse Intelligence panel discussion will tackle the wide-ranging scope of intelligence, from the evolution of the human mind to the complex systems our technology has birthed to forms of intelligence that are yet to be invented or discovered.

Hurricanes Maria and Katrina, the 2010 Haitian earthquake, among other crises have made it clear that Black people and people of color will shoulder the burden of these coming crises.<\/p>\n<p>The question of what fate will befall human kind as our world struggles, and fails, to support us has sometimes been reserved for scientists.
