20130924 - Seth Shostak - Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)

[Heather Wade]

How many times according to Dames are we supposed to be dead now?  Killed by the big-*** solar flare that hasn't come yet.

Wasn't the Earth supposed to flip on it's axis or some shit too?   :

[mikealden]

I wonder if we will hear from Bill, the amateur astronomer, tonight...

[steelbot]

I'm still awaiting that New Madrid fault to flex it's muscle again!

[eddie dean]

I haven't seen World War Z yet. Is it any good?

[Heather Wade]

Wow the comet could be 15 times the brightness of the moon! That would be creepy and amazing!

Much brighter than a full moon.  I try to imagine it, and just can't.
But it sure will be cool to listen to Dark Matter under the light of ISON.

Don't know why, but it makes me wish Terrance McKenna would have lived to see it too.  He would have tripped on that hard, lol.

[PrairieGhost]

Seth is going to fly through Art's wormhole?

I'm not a HUGE zombie fan - but thought it was pretty good - (the unrated version)

[herbalizer]

Garbage. And I lovvvvve zombie movies.

[Northcoaster]

Contact was great. Not sure why it got such mixed reviews from the critics.

[sleeplessinca]

My teenage daughter liked the book and I sure like Brad Pitt

[SgtRocko]

Seth is going to fly through Art's wormhole?

Not without dinner, dancing, and a ring first

[steelbot]

LOL Squelch adviser

[AshamanWolf]

I haven't seen World War Z yet. Is it any good?

I have heard it is good, but for my taste, I really enjoyed the book more. It seemed more impactful.

Ian Punnett's  War Of The Worlds style full length interview I thought was good.  I wouldn't have done the last Ian show interview in that style though....

[steelbot]

hehe IF YOU THINK you're UP to it!

The discussion between Art and Seth is so much fun. I've been cracking up constantly.

[Sardondi]

Alright, WHO requested Doctor Doofus Ed "Army Men" Dames?

Lowell observatory in Flagstaff is worth a visit. It is a neat place in a great mountain town!

[Maxwell]

Been there! 

[SciFiAuthor]

Shostak does NOT look 70. Wow, I'd have guessed he was in his 50's.

[sleeplessinca]
