The importance of the space race.




As we are in the space race to reach the Moon in the 21st century and establish the foundations to make profitable the lunar mining resources or the unique properties of the Moon, which is also another way to make profitable, the conquest of the Moon such as, for example, the construction of a radio telescope on the far side of the moon, the idea is that this radio telescope could capture signals from space and study it in unprecedented detail here on Earth, since it would be free of terrestrial interference, of all radio emissions, of the satellites and a lot of interference, there would be pure space for the solo.


On the moon it lasts approximately 12 and a half days, it would be free of interference from the Sun, so the hidden side of the Moon would be an ideal place to build a giant radio telescope and who knows, apart from studying the universe, cosmic phenomena, supernova explosions, black holes, etc., one could also perhaps, as SETI scientists dream, finally capture the signal of an extraterrestrial civilization, one of those signals that perhaps were emitted centuries or millennia ago and that wander around the world. cosmos.


This tells us a lot about losing technological and initiative leadership in the exploration and exploitation of the mining resources of the 38 million square kilometers of the Moon, it will not only be an economic issue, many things are at stake here, many things are at stake.




The Earth as a habitable planet is not invisible in space, we have technology to be able to capture planets, to be able to analyze exoplanets and know if they have the capacity to have life or not, analyzing the atmospheric composition of those worlds, we almost have that, they are still sharpening and pointing and analyzing and discussing the biosignatures that biosignatures would be those marks or those special gases that only living beings produce, there is still debate, but technology to capture those biosignatures and those gases we almost have it, a little more with the next next generation space telescopes and we would have it.


If we have the technology, another technological civilization a little more advanced than ours or like ours, can also have it and that means that the Earth has been visible as a planet with life like the rest of the planets with life that we will be able to detect in the future for billions of years, so we cannot hide in that sense.


Assuming that there was a civilization slightly more advanced than ours with the capacity to travel interstellar and discovered us, I would do an analysis to see if it is really worth communicating with humans and what would happen if it happened, at the moment I don't think it seems like it would be a good idea on their part as we currently are, among other things because I think it would cause a lot of tension.


In principle, the important thing is in the end who controls the communication with those beings from another civilization, that single aspect would cause so much tension that it could be the cause of quite large conflicts. The UN raised it on one occasion, but as it currently stands, there would be little hope for a consensus.
