Should We Search for Extraterrestrial Life? September 11, 2022 5:34 am ER

Every Saturday morning, when my alarm clock radio goes off, the NPR station I am tuned to runs a debate show called “Intelligence Squared”.

Today’s debate topic was “Should We Search for Extraterrestrial Life?”, and it featured SETI researcher Jill Tarter and cosmologist Paul Sutter.
