James Cameron says we've got all the inspiration for alien life here on earth. Charles agrees, but he doesn't agree it's enough to power science fiction films for a thousand years.

Investigate the convergence of exploration, innovation, and imagination with Neil deGrasse Tyson and filmmaker and explorer James Cameron. Featuring comic co-host Chuck Nice and astrophysicist and StarTalk All-Stars host Charles Liu.
