The Final Frontier
Wednesday, August 25 2010
by Alex Granados and Frank Stasio
At one time or another, each of us has looked up and wondered what’s out there in that place called space. Scientists, artists and philosophers have all ventured their thoughts. In the 20th century, manned space flight changed everything, making us denizens of the universe. Still, the galaxies above remain a source of endless speculation. Host Frank Stasio will explore space with Dan Reichart, associate professor of astrophysics at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill; Marc Lange, Bowman and Gordon Gray Professor of Philosophy at UNC Chapel Hill; Chris Brown, Director of the North Carolina Space Initiative; Todd Boyette, Director of Morehead Planetarium and science fiction writer David Drake.
