Wonderful podcast. Getting the book
Hi Martin,
Love your podcasts, its my weekly commute indulgence.
I sometimes compare our indigenous inhabitants from a couple of hundred years ago to ourselves. They would have seen tall masted ships on the horizon and maybe even abducted from time to time for examination.
Makes you wonder why we spend billions on space exploration, just wait for the ETs to come and use their technology to visit the stars. Indigenous people who only had canoes only had to wait a hundred years or so to sail on passenger ships and then aeroplanes.
