I would ask Jill Tarter whether the increasing capabilities of commercial space ventures could help streamline the search for extraterrestrials. Would there be potential for collaboration between organizations like SETI and private space entrepreneurs (SpaceX, etc)? Or are there potential conflicts that could arise as a result?

This is a really interesting question Joelle! I feel like there is a distinct lack of specificity in the future of space exploration when it comes to the governance of private entities like SpaceX so the question of collaboration between SETI and such space entrepreneurs would be important to answer. I would really want to know what Jill Tarter's perspective on this is too!
