WTUFO Podcase interview with Dr. Michael Bohlander to discuss his book, Contact with Extraterrestrial Intelligence and Human Law
In this interview, Michael Bohlander explains that, although it is statistically unlikely that humans are the only intelligent species in the universe, it is wishful thinking to rely on alien altruism and benign intentions. On the other hand, to only prepare for the worst, is inadequate as well. We thus need to begin identifying as a planetary species, and develop a global consensus on how to respond in either peaceful as well as hostile scenarios.

Space crime, control and space criminology
In the N2K | T-Minus Space Daily podcast, Dr Yarin Eski talks about the need to understand and research space crime and its control. Ranging from astronauts assaulting one another to space debris as cosmic ecocrime, space criminology has a task to study these and more space-related crime phenomena, also to provide insights into how to police and control them.
Space Crime, Policing and Governance 3-minute pitch
Mark Reijndorp and Yarin Eski delivered a pitch on space crime, security and governance at the NL Space Campus in Noordwijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, to a diverse group of enthusiastic space professionals. They addressed how crime is a topic that is denied within the space community. Similarly, space is denied within criminology and public administration as well. This is strange in a time where concerns about space pollution, space warfare and thus more harmful human activity in space are increasing.
'That's one small step for a criminologist, one giant leap for criminology' - Developing an outer space criminological agenda
Space crime? Space criminology? Why so? Where to go to? And more importantly, how to do it? These questions were addressed during a public lecture that took place on 3 May 2023, during the 24th Conference of the Interdisciplinary Research Centre on Crime, Justice & Security of the School of Criminology (Faculty of Law of the Universidade do Porto).
"With being human comes crime."
Why criminologist Yarin Eski is always looking for new frontiers in his research, from maritime security to a biography of a legal arms dealer, to now space crime.
TED talk: How to go to space, without having to go to space
"We will start inhabiting outer space," according to NASA crew commander Angelo Vermeulen. "It might take 50 years or it might take 500 years, but it’s going to happen." In this TED talk, Vermeulen describes some of his official work on how to make humans prepared for life in deep space, by sharing an art project that challenged people worldwide to design homes in which we could live 'up there.'
