Dead Aliens (Narration Only)

Alien puppeteers arriving on UFOs, body snatchers, and mimics are a staple of science fiction, but are they realistic? Today we'll examine these concepts and see if they might be possible under known science, or what similar scenarios extraterrestrial evolution or technology might be produce.

Parasitic Aliens (Narration Only)

The possibility that aliens might be regularly visiting Earth is one of the most popular Fermi Paradox solutions. In this episode we will look at UFOs and flying saucers theories and arguments, as well as examining the logic and possible motives of such extraterrestrial visitors.

Secret Aliens (Narration Only)

Space is an awesome place filled with virtually infinite wonders to explore, and human colonization will likely make far more. It may soon be possible for people to journey up to orbit as tourists, and in the more distant future this might become a vast trade, with tourism in Space Station Hotels or on the Moon or Mars or traveling to countless other planets, moons, asteroids, or megastructures.

Space Tourism (Narration Only)

Colonizing Mars and terraforming it to be a comfortable future home for humanity is quite the challenge. How would we go about it and how close is close enough for our purposes? How would we let life grow on the open surface of Mars and how would we give air and water and potentially even alter its day, year, and gravity?

Springtime On Mars (Narration Only)

Discussion of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations often hinges on the idea that they may have ascended to a higher state or higher level of reality, and lost interest in us and the rest of the galaxy. While we can't know what technologies or enlightened paths they might have available, we can ask how realistic the portrayals of those aliens might be, and if this notion make sense as a Fermi Paradox solution.

Aloof Aliens (Narration Only)

We often wonder how we might first meet extraterrestrials, picturing flying saucers and UFOs landing and aliens emerging asking to be taken to our leader - but joining the galactic community might be a very strange experience.

Welcome to the Galactic Community! (Narration Only)

Alien Conspiracy theories are too numerous to count, but are they simply being paranoid about UFOs or might aliens be conspiring against us? Alternatively, could an extraterrestrial civilization be conspiratorial by nature, and what motives might a galactic civilization have for involving themselves with us in secret?

Conspiratorial Aliens (Narration Only)

Science Fiction has long contemplated the idea that alien life not based on carbon chemistry such as silicon might exist on distant and strange worlds, or might be made to exist advanced biological engineering. What would such life be like?
