It is crazy to ignore the presence of extraterrestrial life and simply assume that we are the only intelligent beings in the entire universe. In the vastness of outer space, aliens may just be lurking somewhere, just waiting for the right time to make contact with us. Doctor Awesome explores the future of extraterrestrial life with Harvard professor and astrophysicist Avi Loeb. Together, they discuss the importance of keeping an eye on foreign objects circling near the Earth that could be coming from our potential space neighbors. They also discuss how to dispel jealousy and ego around academic communities, the possibility of humanity becoming a space-faring species, and the advantage of sending AI-powered robots for interstellar missions.
