What if astronaut training was never supposed to be just for astronauts?
In Part 1 of this 3-episode arc, Darius Riddick and co-host Elle introduce Civilization Readiness—the idea that the skills we once reserved for a tiny group of spacefarers now belong to entire populations.
Inside this episode:
- From “astronaut selection” to civilization selection
- Why emotional regulation, cognitive hygiene, and physical robustness are the new baseline
- The four civilizational upgrades every spacefaring society needs
- How ENDURE BEYOND is shifting from a podcast into a strategic briefing for the future of humanity
This is the “why” behind training a whole planet for the spacefaring era.
