Q&A 117: Why Am I So Negative About Aliens? And More... Featuring Dr. Jason Wright
In this week's questions show, I explain why I've got such a skeptical view about the search for aliens if there might be multiple great filters, and why NASA doesn't just go back and use Apollo hardware to return to the Moon?

Fraser, regarding the difficulty of landing large payloads on Mars, what do you think of the idea of using Phobos as a staging site for Mars exploration and eventual landing, also using whatever resources it has, e.g. water for H2 and O2?

About getting on Mars... hmmm.. NASA uses a sling-shot effect to add speed to a vehicle, so is there a negative slingshot effect?
Fraser don't worry about what you say about the aliens as I saw on ZTube an alien saying he doesn't believe in Fraser Cain but I couldn't reply as my Universal translator was down that day.
