  • "Timothy Ferris combines new discoveries about the origins of life on earth with recent revelations about the nature of the suns' planets and their moons to seek out possible homes for life in our solar system and beyond. This film explains why many scientists believe that life is abundant througout the universe."@en
  • "Is humanity alone in the universe or do other intelligent beings, out among the stars, also speculate about their place in the cosmos?"@en
  • "Part I investigates the origins of life on Earth and traces the search for life on other worlds, including recent scientific advances in the search for extraterrestrials. Part II examines the strategies being employed to communicate with fellow travelers among the stars, from sending starships to transmitting electronic signals across the interstellar seas."@en
  • "Is humanity alone in the universe or do other intelligent beings, out among the stars, also speculate about their place in the cosmos? The story of the search for extraterrestrial life is told in this ground-breaking two-part film by Timothy Ferris who combines new discoveries about the origins of life with recent revelations about the nature of the sun's planets to seek possible answers. Part one investigates the origins of life on earth and traces the search for life on other worlds, while part two examines the strategies being employed to communicate with fellow travelers among the stars."@en

  • "This two-part film tells the story of the search for extraterrestrial life. New discoveries about the origins of life are combined with recent revelations about the nature of the sun's planets and their moons to seek out possible home for life in our solar system and beyond. The film also explains why some scientists believe there is abundant life throughout the universe, and shows how radiotelescopes may be the way we can connect with alien civilizations."@en
  • "Looks at the question as to whether there is intelligent life on other planets in the universe. This involves new information about the origins of life on earth, and the coming possibility of communication over long distances with other intelligences."

  • "Does life exist beyond Earth? It is an ancient question, one that has transfixed stargazers for centuries. Yet only in the last few decades have humans developed the tools to actively search for extraterrestrial life. Today astronomers are able to observe planets orbiting distant stars. Scientists are preparing probes to explore the farthest reaches of our universe, while others scan the heavens trying to detect radio signals sent by intelligent aliens. Some scientists predict that the discovery of life beyond Earth will occur before the end of the century. Whenever it comes, the discovery will be without parallel in its impact on human thought. "Life Beyond Earth," a two-hour science special, tells the story of humanity's search for life outside the confines of our own planet."@en
  • "Explores the search for intelligent life in the universe and strategies being employed to communicate once it is found."@en
