Martin Rees: Post-human intelligence – a cosmic perspective | Starmus highlights

A highlight of Martin Rees’s Starmus talk explores how advances in robotics and miniaturization reduce the need for human spaceflight, advocating robotic missions as primary while human ventures become private and exploratory. He frames these trends within a broader “post-human” future, contemplating humanity as a stepping stone in cosmic evolution, and notes ESET’s support of the Starmus festival celebrating scientific innovation.
