Episode notes

The New Horizons book looks at humans from the perspective of astrobiology and planetary science. It's basically... If you were an alien with a long attention span watching Earth, then in this recent stretch of time, you would have seen something really weird happen to our planet that has never happened to it before. And what does that sort of look like from a planetary perspective? What's the goal of the Earth and human hands? Okay, cool. That was a busy little stretch for me. I'm still recovering. From all that.

Can there be life on planets without magnetic fields? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice discuss exoplanets, extraterrestrials, and answer extraordinary questions from our fans with astrobiologist, David Grinspoon.
