Scientists Discuss NASA’s Strategy for Finding Alien Life

Will alien life look like anything on Earth? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice deep dive into questions about astrobiology, revisiting the Drake Equation, and life beyond Earth with NASA astrobiology strategist, David Grinspoon a.k.a Dr. Funkyspoon.

We discuss the evolution of planetary science and how collaboration between astronomers and planetary scientists is shaping the search for extraterrestrial life. David sheds light on his new role at NASA, where he helps craft strategies for the next decade of astrobiology research.


Fom exploring the mysteries of life’s origins to working with innovative roboticists to probe icy moons like Enceladus, he’s helping chart the course for humanity’s quest to answer one of the most profound questions: Are we alone?
