The Big PictureWe MUST Become a Space Faring Civilization and This is How We Get There | The Big Picture Ep 11Humanity is at a crossroads. In this episode of The Big Picture, Becket and Randall Carlson explore what it will take to become a spacefaring civilization — and why we must.We break down the International Space Station as a working model of global cooperation, China’s expanding presence on the Moon, and the race toward helium-3 and fusion energy. From geopolitical alignment to long-term thinking, we look at what humanity is doing right now that works — and what’s standing in the way.Topics covered include:Why the ISS still matters...2025-07-151h 36The Big PictureHow were the Grand Canyon and Great Lakes formed? The Big Picture Episode 10This episode of the Big Picture explores the possibility that massive, rapid flooding events played a central role in shaping major geographic features across North America — including the Grand Canyon, the Great Lakes, and the Channeled Scablands. Randall & Becket walk through detailed geomorphic evidence suggesting that these landforms may not have been formed slowly over millions of years, but rather through sudden, high-energy processes involving enormous volumes of water.2025-07-062h 31The Big PictureA Flood Carved The Western Landscape, This is the Proof | The Big Picture #9In this episode of The Big Picture, Randall Carlson and Becket dive deep into the cataclysmic floods that reshaped the American West. From the collapse of Lake Bonneville to the massive Missoula Floods, these ancient events weren’t just natural disasters — they were earth-sculpting, climate-shifting forces that modern science is only beginning to fully understand.Carlson walks us through the geologic evidence left behind: carved canyons, scablands, flood basalts, and sediment layers that point to sudden, high-energy hydrologic events — not slow, gradual change.What triggered these floods? Earthquakes? Glacial dam failures? Something else entirely?Th...2025-06-052h 16The Big PictureA Geologic Guide to Post-Ice Age America | The Picture Picture #8In this episode of The Big Picture, we dive into the deep-time reality of cataclysmic Earth events — the kind that reshape continents, erase civilizations, and leave behind scars mistaken for slow erosion.Through satellite imagery, megaflood analysis, and overlooked geological features, we explore how modern science may be misinterpreting the largest and most rapid transformations in Earth’s surface history. What if the most important chapters in human prehistory are buried under debris fields, glacial till, or eroded river basins?2025-05-161h 58The Big PictureThe 60s & 70s, The State, The System, The Silence & The Awakening | The Big Picture #7In this wide-ranging and unfiltered episode of The Big Picture, Randall Carlson opens up like never before—sharing stories from his life in the 1960s, his near-draft into the Vietnam War, and the moments that shattered his trust in the narratives handed down by media, government, and culture.What begins as a reflection on war, truth, and resistance unfolds into a deep critique of the American system—touching on education, imperialism, psychedelics, media manipulation, and the engineered collapse of peace movements. But this isn’t just a look back—it’s a call to awaken.From the f...2025-04-213h 04The Big PictureEvidence of The Cataclysm That Destroyed North America | The Big Picture #6In this episode of The Big Picture, Randall Carlson and Becket Fusik dive deep into the geological evidence of Earth’s catastrophic past. From the dramatic onset of Meltwater Pulse 1A to the violent forces behind megafloods and erratic boulder trains, we explore how sudden, global-scale events reshaped the planet—and possibly reset civilization as we know it.Was there an advanced human presence before the Ice Age meltdown? Why is mainstream science reluctant to acknowledge the full scale of these events? And what clues lie hidden beneath our feet, waiting to rewrite our understanding of history?...2025-04-063h 22The Big PictureThe Greatest Story Never Told | The Big Picture #5The Earth’s history is marked by massive floods, catastrophic upheavals, and rapid environmental shifts that reshaped entire continents. In this episode of The Big Picture, Randall Carlson and Becket Fusik break down the evidence for Ice Age megafloods, lost landscapes, and the forces that shaped human civilization. Were these floods triggered by glacial meltwater, cosmic impacts, or something else entirely? The answers lie in the geological record.2025-03-123h 17The Big PictureExtinction Events, Global Upheaval & Humanity’s Survival | The Big Picture #4The Evidence Is Clear—Our Civilization Is Not Immune to Catastrophe.Randall Carlson & Becket Fusik explore the hidden cycles of destruction and renewal that have shaped our past and will inevitably shape our future. From ancient cosmic disasters to the lost knowledge of previous civilizations, this episode uncovers the true risks facing humanity—and why history may be closer to repeating itself than we realize.💡 What knowledge did past civilizations lose after global cataclysms?💡 Could another extinction-level event be on the horizon?💡 What are the real threats that modern society refuses to acknowledge?Thro...2025-03-022h 06The Big PictureLost Civilizations, Cosmic Disasters & The Next Great Human Leap | The Big Picture #3In this episode of The Big Picture, Randall Carlson and Becket Fusik take a deep dive into Earth's hidden past and humanity’s future. They discuss:The real history of ancient catastrophes and lost civilizations.Evidence of 600-foot mega tsunamis and their impact on human history.How cosmic forces like asteroid impacts and solar storms have shaped Earth’s climate.Why mainstream science underestimates ancient knowledge of navigation, astronomy, and engineering.The future of humanity in space—why we must colonize the Moon and beyond.The biggest existential threats to modern civilization—and how...2025-03-012h 39The Big PictureSpace Travel, Lunar Colonies, Asteroid Resources, & Building a Cosmic Civilization | The Big Picture #2Are we ready to expand into the cosmos to ensure humanity’s survival and thrive beyond Earth? Or will we remain stuck in the conflicts and limitations of our past?Welcome back to The Big Picture. This is Episode #2.In this episode, Becket Fusik and Randall Carlson delve into the current state and future of space exploration, examining humanity's potential to become an interplanetary civilization. They talk about the moon and Mars as prime targets for colonization, the resources available on the moon, and the implications of establishing a human presence beyond Earth. The conversation al...2024-12-232h 31The Big PictureComets, Nukes, Diplomacy, Ukraine, Global Conflict, & Neocons | The Big Picture #1What are the greatest threats to humanity, and how can we face them?
