Reknowned astrobiologist and curator of astrobiology at the Denver Museum of Science and Nature, and author of the book Lonely Planets: The Natural Philosophy of Alien Life David Grinspoon joins me in the studio for a fascinating tour of science's search for life in the universe.

Also joining us for the discussion is four-time shuttle astronaut and planetary scientist Thomas D. Jones, who shared an advisor with Grinspoon during their graduate studies, and Popular Mechanics senior science editor Jennifer Bogo. Less
