From Here to the Stars Episode 1: Marc Millis

From Here to the Stars | Featuring Marc G. Millis | Tau Zero & the Future of Interstellar Travel

In this episode of From Here to the Stars, brought to you by the Tennessee Valley Interstellar Workshop (TVIW), host Stephen Euin Cobb sits down with Marc G. Millis, retired NASA propulsion physicist, aerospace engineer, and founder of the Tau Zero Foundation.

Together, they explore the cutting edge of interstellar propulsion physics, the history and mission of Tau Zero, and the challenges of advancing breakthrough technologies beyond our solar system. From the limitations of current space infrastructure to the bold vision of faster-than-light travel, Millis provides a candid look into the realities of future spaceflight—grounded in science, not science fiction.

Learn how volunteer-led innovation is keeping the dream of interstellar exploration alive, why collaboration is essential in a funding-scarce environment, and what it will take to push humanity to the stars.

Key Topics:
The origin and mission of the Tau Zero Foundation
Breakthrough propulsion physics and its current status
Interstellar vs. solar system exploration
The impact of DARPA's 100-Year Starship project
Strategic vision for advancing interstellar R&D
Funding, public perception, and the road ahead
