Are aliens a threat?

Posted: May 5, 2010

In response to Stephen Hawking’s new Discovery Channel program, IEET Fellow David Brin was a guest recently on Larry King Live, where he debated the “alien threat” with Michio Kaku, Seth Shostak, and actor Dan Aykroyd. This is Part One. See Part Two here, and Part Three here.
