Are we alone in space? Mission to Alpha Centauri with Dr. Pete Worden

Have you ever wondered how we will react when we received a confirmed signal from an alien civilization? And what Alpha Centauri has to do with it? In this episode, I’m talking with Simon Pete Worden, a retired general of the US Airforce, former head of NASA Ames, and currently the Executive Director of a fantastic Breakthrough Initiatives. If you would like to know how we seek life in other galaxies, are there any procedures in case of receiving a confirmed signal from other civilizations, or just listen to the fantastic story of Pete himself, including helping smaller countries like Ruanda or the Kingdom of Bhutan to join the space sector – this is the episode.
