Where Scientists Think Alien Life Is Hiding | Alyssa Carson

Link to full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78BXV_27V0Q Alyssa Carson explains where scientists are seriously looking for life beyond Earth, from Europa's buried ocean to Titan's methane lakes. The search is not only about finding aliens. It starts with the basics: liquid, carbon, oxygen, and the conditions that might allow microbial life to exist somewhere very different from Earth. Danny and Alyssa also get into the Bennu asteroid sample, amino acids in space, and why Mars landing sites are chosen around water, ice, sunlight, and the risk of contamination. The conversation shows how astrobiology is being folded into major missions even when the mission itself is officially about a moon, asteroid, or future human landing site.
