Description

We’ve been broadcasting our presence for about 85 years now, with radio, television, and radar, essentially spamming space with all kinds of messages. What would we do if someone answers back? What if our message reaches someone, or something, hostile? Others argue that we should be trying to communicate with whoever might be out there. But who should do the talking? And what would we say?

Think there’s aliens out there? Stories of UFOs and alien encounters abound—and some are even believable. Now, armed with state-of-the-art technology, the search for extraterrestrials (one-celled and big-brained) is on the move. For Wild Thing: Space Invaders, host Laura Krantz turns her gaze skyward. Is there life on other planets? Has it visited us? Why do we want to find it? And what does it mean if we don’t? We’ll explore the science and culture of this universe of possibilities—and why the idea of alien life has abducted our imaginations.
