Description

The aftermath of SL-1 highlighted a problem that we still haven’t solved, despite decades of searching for a solution: what to do with the waste. Our plans to store nuclear waste inside Yucca Mountain in Nevada fell through. So now what? Can we safely contain these materials? Should the waste be in one location, or many? How do we warn future generations about the dangers these materials pose?

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.
