Show Notes
In a few billion years, our sun might not deliver enough energy anymore. Planning ahead, a group of people, called Star Catchers, are discussing moving another star to our solar system. And they're already making prototypes! Think big ropes and lots of telekinesis. In this episode we talk about the status quo and about some of the challenges that come with moving a star. As Simon puts it: "What's going on inside a star is very different compared to what's going on inside a boat."
