Is the search for extraterrestrial life finally becoming a serious scientific pursuit?
In short: Following the groundbreaking discoveries of the Kepler mission, Astronomer Royal Lord Rees of Ludlow argues that we must take the prospect of life on other planets seriously and begin to envision a future where humans inhabit other worlds.
In this lecture, the distinguished theoretical astrophysicist Martin Rees, a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, explores the implications of modern space exploration. As the UK's Astronomer Royal, Rees examines why the Kepler mission's findings necessitate a shift in our perspective regarding planetary habitability and the potential for human expansion beyond Earth.
