From Mars to Eternity

Presenter: Seth Shostak, SETI Institute
When: August 11, 2008 1PM PDT

The discovery of water on Mars has scientists asking whether they’re could have once been life on the Red Planet. It’s a big question – and it’s prompted us to follow up with a few of our own, such as: what is our relationship to the cosmos? How do we find meaning in a universe that is destined to end?

Plus, in response to Seth’s appearance on Larry King Live: have aliens visited Earth?
Any questions?
