Show Notes

From reports of UFO (or UAP) sightings across the globe to scientists scouring the universe for signs of extraterrestrial life, humankind has been searching for proof that we are not alone in this universe.  In this episode, we talk to “Mars meteorologist” Dr. Michael A. Mischna of JPL about new research that not only supports evidence that life-essential water flourished on Mars over history, but shows how that was possible on such a dry, sandy planet.  And with Perseverance and Ingenuity physically traversing its sandy craters, NASA could be on the brink of unlocking never-before discovered secrets about our mysterious galactic neighbor, as well as what that might mean for us on Earth.
