It's just one of the ways How Big Data Forced The Hunt For Extraterrestrial Intelligence To Evolve. In short, new and powerful methods to analyze data have opened up new opportunities for observation with the potential of striking alien gold. Thanks to Georgina Torbet for that red pill! Amidst all this science, curiosity is fuelled by imagination and dreams whereupon Wayne Ferrebee presents his Space Dreams Defense being philosophical about potential life on Venus, and elsewhere, and humanity's report card as stewards of this planet.
