Alone In The Universe, a podcast by Chloe Webb

Are we all alone in this Universe?

Chloe Webb had a question, and she needs an answer. So, she decided to create this podcast for her Audio Documentary project. We see aliens in Hollywood films so many times, they can be evil or friendly. They can be anything that we want through our imagination. Just 30 years ago, we discovered a single planet outside of our solar system. Now we have gone beyond three thousand. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, two of the world's richest men, are racing each other to become the richest man and explore something beyond our world at the same time.

Chloe interviewed Outreach Leader in Astronomy Dr. Sadie Jones from the University of Southampton, to give a professional perspective on alien life. Also, we get a public view from Carolina, Eleanor, and Marianna on their feelings about extra-terrestrial life. There are plenty of things you can do in this course. You can explore anything beyond the Earth's atmosphere. You can create a documentary that you think will brighten up your mind or expose our societies' darkness. JFK referred a British explorer to why he would climb Mount Everest, "It's because it is there."

There are plenty of theories out there like they're hiding from us due to our long history of conflict. I mean, WW2 just ended not long ago. Maybe they're still evolving. It did take us 3.5 billion years of evolution to transform a single-celled microbe into humans. Perhaps, they're already here. Who knows? As Chloe personally states, "I would say I joined because of the creative opportunities; the course inspires students with thought provoking topics that get you thinking about the universe." We used to think the sky was the limit.

This podcast will make you feel out of this world. There is no limit when it comes to ideas and what sort of documentary you want to create.
