It usually requires a little more intensive work, including actually crouching down, yanking,... Read more â€ș

How microbes could beat humans in the race to connect with alien species

Are we alone in the universe? The famous SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) program has been trying to answer this question since 1959.
