Are We Alone? | VICE on HBO (Trailer)

Scientists are leaping exponentially closer to finding life beyond Earth. Missions to Mars and Saturn’s moons are prime candidates for finding the first signs of life and NASA can now identify more than 3,500 planets outside our solar system, many with habitable temperatures. That number is quickly growing as space travel technology improves and probes head deeper into the galaxy. Nuclear physicist Taylor Wilson explores one of our civilization's most perplexing questions: Are we alone?

the genuine enthusiasm of this guy is really charming

[maddiehad]

aliens aren't answering our calls because they think we are all Jehovah's Witnesses.

[papulrocks]

I'm pretty sure the host, is the alien we're looking for.

[TJl]

what's the point in trying to find extra-terrestrial life on other planets if we can't take care of the one's on our own planet?

Taylor be like
Wtf I knew that 😂😂😂

[joebobrosen]

So happy Taylor Wilson is continuing to be featured on this channel. Ever since Shane went to visit his nuclear reactor in his garage, I knew I would say him down the road on this channel.

[camilotobon]

Wtf? How do we know sending messages into deep space is a good thing?

[xandermichael]

Crazy idea everyone always goes straight to more advanced life, but, imagine if we find early life and we manipulate it's evolution with our much more advanced technology.

This is EXACTLY why President Trump is building the wall! GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP AND THE USA!!! #MAGA #TRUMP2020

[heizhummer]

I dont think aliens are to interested in us. If they came here we would show them are top technology and it would be like watching your 3 year old niece draw a picture of mac and cheese. Like oo thats great

[lorenzomunisami]

This guy is not a reporter... he is the youngest person to create a nuclear reactor in his own garage. He is trying to create sustainable, clean and distributed nuclear power.

I always found the Adam and Eve story interesting because it sounds like a cloning experiment. Eve from the rib of Adam sounds pretty modern to me. I also am fascinated by the fact that Francis Crick, one of the men who discovered the double helix and won a Nobel Prize for it, admitted that he did so while on LSD. I'm also fascinated by Fred Hoyle (a well known astronomer) and advocate of the panspermia theory(the idea that earth was deliberately seeded by an alien intelligence) who used advanced statistical models related to human genetics, to state that there is a better chance of a tornado ripping through a junkyard and assembling a fully operation 747 jumbo jet, than human DNA not having been intentionally tampered with.

[olivearodriguez]

I would live to be the person to step foot on Mars.

[crystalidx]

I kind of feel like I don’t want humans to find extraterrestrial life because humans would destroy it.

[moroteseoinage]

Aliens probably visit earth to take samples of species to preserve them from the anthropogenic extinction event

[presidentnotsure]

I do know this, we're destroying the only home we have.

[akvmenon]

The host is on a time travel from Stranger things. (Finn Wolfhard lookalike) lol

[Unknownbrand]

That open and close door jingle, major fail.

[Ekalavya]

i dont know about you, but i am always alone.
