She talks so gently and patiently that I could listen to her for hours .

[oOoJeeoOo]

It's amazing how grounded she is for someone who think and ''look'' into space for a living. Great interview

[cjgeminitarot]

“Whatever anyone believes has no relevance. We want to know what is.”

Yes SETI kween. Yes.

Her concluding sentence just melts my heart is that, ' we are all same earthlings'.

12:39 There, it's why I love Jill Tarter, she's the Einstein of our time. "Nationalism is an infantile disease, it's the measles of mankind" - Albert Einstein. We humans don't need countries, we don't need all these artificial boundaries.

Wow, she's so calming and wise, also - she set Hawkings fear on fire with her view on the "Alien to humans = Columbus to Americans"-fear.

[nicholelaskowski]

Thank you.
I am preparing my applications for a PhD in physics, specifically astro physics. you're an inspiration for what humans can explore, imagine, and hope to discover and accomplish.

I wondered for a long time now if all the wealth mankind has spent on conquering, controlling or killing each other had been spent on the betterment of all mankind, what kind of a world would be all be living in ?

Aliens- *scans earth*

"Poor feckers....they barely have any resources left, let's let them die in peace."
