Lecture Description
Guest lecturer Rusty Schweickart gives the first part of the lecture, "Life in Space, Life on Earth," for Professor Lynn Rothschild's Astrobiology and Space Exploration course.
Course Description
Astrobiology is a new meta-discipline which combines astronomy, biology, chemistry, philosophy, and physics in an effort to study the current state of life in the universe. In the Stanford Astrobiology Course, lectures follow a, more or less, linear path from the Big Bang all the way to the development of complex life and, finally, space exploration. The course explains how evolutionary principles have operated at the macro, and micro, level ever since the birth of the universe we reside in today.
