A global catastrophic risk is a hypothetical future event that has the potential to damage human well-being on a global scale. Some events could cripple or destroy modern civilization. Any event that could cause human extinction is known as an existential risk.

• Space exploration and asteroid detection technologies could safeguard against extraterrestrial risks, such as asteroid impacts, while also providing opportunities for humanity to establish off-planet settlements as a backup to Earth. yeastwonderfulworld
• ISRO has made significant advancements by successfully germinating lobia seeds in space, a vital step in exploring the potential for sustainable food sources in extraterrestrial environments. EDUREV.IN
• The latest advance in the search for extraterrestrial life could come from the wiggles of swimming microbes-microscopic single-celled organisms that are abundant in just about every nook and cranny of Earth. Scientific American
• The slight imbalance in chirality observed in many organic molecules could be an indicator that life on Earth originated from the delivery of organic molecules by extraterrestrial life. Live Science
• China's space scientists will explore the habitability of celestial bodies and exoplanets through the Habitable Planets theme, searching for extraterrestrial life and studying planetary atmospheres. Welcome to Fana Broadcasting Corporate S.C
• Exposure of humans and nonhuman biological systems to the environments in and around extraterrestrial bodies (beyond the Earth and the International Space Station) are critical to investigating and understanding how living systems respond and adapt to the hazards of spaceflight. NASA
• Key areas of space development in the coming years will be the origin and evolution of the solar system, characterization of planetary atmospheres, the search for extraterrestrial life, and exoplanet detection. FirstPost
• Humans on Earth receive their first evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life when a radio telescope picks up a strange signal, sounding like exquisite music, from a distant planet that will come to be known as Rakhat. IMDB
• In the coming years, NASA plans to send several astrobiology missions to Venus and Mars to search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. phys.org
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning will be essential to finding and proving the existence of extraterrestrial life and UFOs. WFIN Local News
• JWST could possibly detect signs of extraterrestrial life up to 50 light-years from Earth. Space
• Venus' atmosphere could support the complex chemistry needed for life to survive, which could have profound implications in the search for habitable planets and extraterrestrial life. Universe Today
• Exposure of humans and non-human biological systems to the environments in and around extraterrestrial bodies (beyond the Earth and the International Space Station) are critical to investigating and understanding how living systems respond and adapt to the hazards of spaceflight. NASA
• The search for extraterrestrial life will continue, with new technologies being developed to detect signs of life on other planets. Requierd Education
• SETI searches for intelligent life, and given that human beings are still the new kids on the technological block (consider that we have only had radio technology for a hundred years), you can be pretty sure that anyone we hear will be more advanced than us - possibly much more advanced.

• Very soon the new James Webb Space Telescope will join the search for extraterrestrial life. Copernical.com
• The next generation of SETI and astrobiology scientists will develop new technologies and make scientific discoveries we cannot even imagine today. SETI Institute
• As more missions aim to return samples from Mars to Earth, it will be important to ensure that Earth microorganisms are not accidentally hauled to Mars and then mistaken for extraterrestrials. Live Science
• Perhaps the world's largest single-dish radio observatory, China's new FAST Radio Telescope - Tiyan, the Eye of Heaven - will provide an answer as it prepares to explore a frontier in radio astronomy - using radio waves to locate exoplanets, which may harbor extraterrestrial life.
