This week, Kennedy discusses the prospect that humans are alone in the galaxy and the likelihood of the existence of extraterrestrial life.In this episode, she is joined by Senior Astronomer at the SETI institute, Dr. Seth Shostak. Together, they discuss why they believe the American people could handle the potential news that aliens exist and walk among us, why witness testimonies on alien sightings are often dismissed or easily debunked and the difficulties humankind would face in conflicts or peacemaking with extraterrestrials.
