SUMMARY:Books They Don’t Want You to Read (and Why You Should)
DESCRIPTION:Books They Don’t Want You to Read (and Why You Should - Once upon a time\, adventure was adventurous\, heroes were heroic\, and villains twirled their mustaches without filing an apology afterward. Then the Culture Police showed up with red pens and trigger warnings. From Sax Rohmer’s Fu Manchu to Burroughs’ jungle lords\, Lovecraft’s eldritch horrors\, Fleming’s secret agents\, and Dahl’s delightfully awful children — the list of “problematic” authors keeps growing faster than you can say “revised edition.” In this irreverent (but informed) panel\, we’ll dive into the pulp\, passion\, and peril of reading what modern gatekeepers want scrubbed from memory. Why were these books loved in their time? What do they still get right about storytelling\, adventure\, and imagination? And why is it that the books people warn you not to read are usually the most fun ones? Bring your sense of humor\, your contrarian streak\, and maybe a brown paper dust jacket — because we’re going there.\n\n

SUMMARY:How NASA Searches for Life
DESCRIPTION:Embark on a thrilling journey through humanity’s quest to answer the age-old question: Are we alone in the universe? From wild speculation in pulp novels to today’s high-tech NASA missions\, our search for extraterrestrial life has morphed into a dazzling\, multi-disciplinary adventure worthy of any sci-fi epic. Discover how NASA Science channels our curiosity with cutting-edge spacecraft that probe the mysteries of the Drake Equation\, and how exploring Earth’s own bizarre habitats helps us imagine what alien life might look like. Dive into amazing missions—like OSIRIS-REx\, Curiosity\, Perseverance\, TESS\, and Europa Clipper. Recent discoveries have ignited our imaginations with tantalizing hints of life beyond Earth\, but the real challenge is just beginning: separating genuine biosignatures from cosmic red herrings. Join us as we look to the future\, where new explorations will push the boundaries of what’s possible—and perhaps bring us closer than ever to a universe teeming with life. NASA astrobiologist Dr. Becky McCauley Rench presents.

SUMMARY:Rare Earths Aren’t Rare! Strategic minerals and Geopolitics

SUMMARY:Conestoga’s In Space
DESCRIPTION:Conestoga’s In Space: Is there a point to making MilSF logistics realistic-ish? Are explanations for time/distance/resupply helpful to story or just something that needs to be adequately hand-waved away? Let’s compare and contrast how some well known MilSF franchises address the questions which real life military planners invest so much to solve. Can logistics make a story better? (moderator will pick franchises where logistics aren’t waved away\, such as: Draka-verse\, The General\, The Expanse\, etc.)

SUMMARY:The Art of Translation: When Cream of the Crop Becomes Yellow of the Egg
DESCRIPTION:Words matter—but what happens when they cross borders?Translating fiction is part art\, part chaos\, and all nuance. It’s more than just swapping words. It’s about navigating cultural context\, idiomatic landmines\, and preserving the author’s voice. From idioms gone rogue to character voices lost in the shuffle\, this panel dives into the strange and delightful world of fiction in translation. Panelists will share behind-the-scenes insights\, linguistic mishaps\, and what authors can do to make the journey smoother. Whether you’re a writer hoping to expand into other languages or a reader curious why your favorite line hits different in German\, French\, or Klingon—join us for a laugh-filled\, language-loving session.

SUMMARY:The Planetary Brain and the Power Beneath It
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence may feel weightless\, but the machines behind it are anything but invisible to the engineers who power them. This presentation explores the growing collision between hyperscale AI\, massive data centers\, electrical infrastructure\, cooling systems\, and the future of civilization-scale computation. Drawing from both real-world power-system engineering and decades of science fiction—from H. G. Wells and Isaac Asimov to William Gibson and Neal Stephenson—the discussion examines how the “cloud” is actually built from transformers\, transmission lines\, power electronics\, and thermodynamics. The future may not be powered by magic\, but by megawatts\, cooling water\, and infrastructure operating at planetary scale.

DESCRIPTION:Wait\, Are We The Bad Guys?: How to use MilSF to explore themes around insurgencies and ethics. Understanding rebellion and insurgency is at least as important as understanding institutionalized militaries. From Revolt in 2100 to Andor\, plucky revolutionaries are painted as the “good guys.” When are MilSF revolutionaries the “bad guys?” Are they ever? Should they be? What does this tell us about ourselves?

SUMMARY:Electricity\, Water\, and AI
DESCRIPTION:As artificial intelligence\, cloud computing\, and hyper-scale digital infrastructure expands\, data centers are becoming one of the defining industrial systems of the 21st century. But these facilities are more than anonymous buildings full of servers—they reshape electrical grids\, water resources\, regional economics\, and even the geography of computation itself. This panel will try to explores the social and infrastructure impacts of hyperscale computing\, including energy demand\, cooling water consumption\, environmental tradeoffs\, rural versus urban deployment\, and the growing concentration of computational power. The discussion examines how massive computational systems may influence the future of the electric grid\, governance\, infrastructure\, and daily life.

SUMMARY:Not Just For Vets
DESCRIPTION:Interest in Mil SF speculative fiction has expanded well beyond the core audience of even 25 years ago. Commercial competition for audience capture between brands is one driver. Using speculative Mil SF to explore concerning or threatening topics which saturate 24x7 news cycles is another. What is the balance between “topics of the moment” and more highly speculative topics which creators should strive for? &nbsp\;Panelists talk about the perils and promise of writing to market or writing &nbsp\;“what’s important” in a speculative MilSF context.

SUMMARY:Exoplanets: Detection Methodology and Recent Developments
DESCRIPTION:Step into the cutting edge of real world cosmic discovery as NASA’s leading astrobiologist Dr. Becky McCauley Rench guides you through how thousands of newly discovered exoplanets—many stranger than anything in our own solar system—are reshaping our understanding of what worlds can be\, how they form\, and where life might take hold. This talk dives into the surprising ways planetary science\, astrophysics\, and heliophysics work together to decode alien atmospheres\, star–planet interactions\, and the clues that distinguish lifeless planets from potentially living ones. From hot Jupiters and super Earths\, to NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope and the Habitable Worlds Observatory\, you’ll get an insider’s look at how today’s science is rapidly catching up with science fiction—and why the next decades may bring the most exciting discoveries in the history of exploring other worlds.

SUMMARY:Roko's Basilisk: A Modern Thought Experiment at the Edge of AI\, Ethics\, and Internet Folklore
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores Roko’s Basilisk\, one of the most notorious and controversial thought experiments to emerge from online discussions about artificial intelligence\, decision theory\, and existential risk. At its core\, Roko’s Basilisk asks whether a hypothetical future superintelligent AI might have incentives to punish people who knew about its possible creation but failed to help bring it into existence. &nbsp\;Harlan Ellison's story "I have no Mouth and I must Scream" will be discussed as an oddly prophetic story years before Roko proposed his thought experiment. \n\nThe presentation will unpack the Basilisk in clear\, accessible terms\, beginning with the intellectual context in which it appeared. It will explain the assumptions required for the thought experiment to work\, including the possibility of an artificial superintelligence having god like powers combined with petty grievances against individual humans who either helped or hindered its creation. \n\nBeyond the technical argument\, the talk will also consider Roko’s Basilisk as a cultural artifact. Why did such an abstract and speculative idea become frightening to some readers? What does its spread reveal about online communities\, memetic hazards\, and the psychological impact of extreme thought experiments?

SUMMARY:Intriguing Rocks on Mars: the Cheyava Falls Potential Biosignature
DESCRIPTION:Join NASA astrobiologist Dr. Becky McCauley Rench for an exploration of one of the most exciting real world discoveries to fire the imagination of science fiction fans: the Cheyava Falls rock found by the Perseverance rover on Mars. This strange\, splotchy stone—riddled with organic molecules\, hydrated minerals\, and chemical patterns reminiscent of microbial energy sources on Earth—has become one of the most intriguing hints yet that ancient Mars could have supported life. In this talk\, we’ll journey through the science behind these clues\, unravel how scientists evaluate evidence for life using frameworks like the Confidence of Life Detection (CoLD) scale\, and discover why this finding represents a thrilling but early step in a much larger quest. Along the way\, we’ll connect the cutting edge tools aboard Perseverance to the classic sci-fi themes of alien ecosystems\, planetary exploration\, and humanity’s drive to answer the ultimate question: Are we alone? Perfect for fans who love when real science is just as awe inspiring as science fiction.

SUMMARY:Redshifted Civilizations\, Galactic Empires\, and the Fermi Paradox
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Justin Feng will present a paper presented to the IRG on time dilation and galactic civilizations. Abstract:&nbsp\;Given the vast distances between stars in the Milky Way and the long timescales required for interstellar travel\, we consider how a civilization might overcome the constraints arising from finite lifespans and the speed of light without invoking exotic or novel physics. We consider several scenarios in which a civilization can migrate to a time-dilated frame within the scope of classical general relativity and without incurring a biologically intolerable level of acceleration. Remarkably\, the power requirements are lower than one might expect\; biologically tolerable orbits near the photon radius of Sgr A* can be maintained by a civilization well below the Type II threshold\, and a single Type II civilization can establish a galaxy-spanning civilization with a time dilation factor of \, enabling trips spanning the diameter of the Milky Way within a human lifetime in the civilizational reference frame. We also find that isotropic\, monochromatic signals from orbits near the photon radius of a black hole exhibit a downward frequency drift. The vulnerability of ultrarelativistic vessels to destruction\, combined with the relatively short timescales on which adversarial civilizations can arise\, provides a strong motivating element for the ``dark forest'' hypothesis.

SUMMARY:Astrobiology - A Planet by Planet Approach on How We Look and What We Could Expect to Find?
DESCRIPTION:Join NASA’s leading astrobiologist Dr. Becky McCauley Rench for an exhilarating tour of the most intriguing worlds in our solar system and beyond as we explore the question that has captivated humanity for generations: are we alone? What can the runaway greenhouse of Venus\, the dried riverbeds of Mars\, the subsurface oceans of Europa and Enceladus\, the organic haze of Titan\, and the stunning variety of exoplanets across our galaxy tell us together? This talk connects the dots between these worlds\, blending frontier science with big-picture imagination. Learn how NASA missions and modern astrobiology guide the search for life—from subsurface seas to distant atmospheres—and what these extraordinary worlds reveal about the possibilities for life elsewhere in the universe.
