About this episode
With countries competing to land on the moon again, private companies launching rockets into space, and plans for Mars colonization becoming less like science fiction every day, we’re in the midst of a new space race. And that means, aliens and UFO sightings are also having a heyday. Reporter MJ Banias takes us on a ride through the new space race and what our alien obsession reveals about our hopes and fears for humanity itself.
