Where did we come from? Are we alone? Join guest host Bill Nye the Science Guy, comic co-host Eugene Mirman and their special guests comedian Dave Foley and Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute as they attempt to answer these questions on stage at the Marine Memorial Theater in San Francisco on January 24, 2014. In Part 1, Seth outlines the 3 approaches to the search for extra terrestrial intelligence. You'll learn about Frank Drake, the pioneering astronomer whose work has helped define SETI, and even earlier astronomers like Sir William Herschel, who discovered Uranus. (Warning: Since this show was recorded live before an adult audience in San Francisco, be prepared for some mildly suggestive language and humor.)
