Episode 08 - Aliens
from FutureBANG!
Ian and Jesse discuss the possibility of contact with alien civilizations and what it would mean for the future of humanity. If we received a clear signal from an extra terrestrial intelligence, how would we react, and what should our response be? This is a big topic, and we missed a lot of important stuff (we left out SETI!). We'll definitely come back to it in another episode some time, so let us know what else to include! Links to topics discussed: Drake Equation Fermi Paradox Definition of Life Maxwell Hunter's Memo The Brookings Report Post Detection Policy Possible Alien Megastructure Voyager Records Arecibo Signal A Message From Earth Theme music, used with permission, by Jonathan Coulton.
