S5E06 - SETI & Society

So we have gone over all the science of the various aspects of the the SETI Project as well as a fair bit of speculation about what such E.T.I. civilisation might seem like or what traces they may have left behind that we could discover.

But now it's time to turn to ourselves and wonder : What will human society be like if we were to discover an extra-terrestrial civilisation?

That is exactly what Maxine, Brune, Anais and Sofia will talk about in this, our final episode of the SETI series for this year!

Enjoy.
