| Are we alone in the universe? Almost certainly not. For thousands of years, humans have wondered who and what might live beyond the confines of our planet. Now, a generation of out-of-the-box scientists are using everything in the world’s toolbox to develop the new science of astrobiology and bring us to the edge of the biggest breakthrough since Copernicus and Galileo. In First Contact, Marc Kaufman travels to the deep gold mines of South Africa and to the world’s most far-seeing telescopes in Chile’s Mars-like Atacama Desert to witness breathtaking developments that point to the likelihood of extraterrestrial life. From the most extreme environments on Earth to distant planets trillions of miles away, First Contact revolutionizes our understanding of the building blocks of life on our world—and beyond. |
