> Thanks to Curiosity, we have a better idea of where water existed (and may still exist) on Mars, as well as where we might be able to find evidence of ancient life. I don't understand why everyone is so excited about finding life on Mars. Life on Mars means life may be relatively common on water-bearing planets, which means the Filter is more likely to ahead of us than behind. ▶ this video
I know everything I know about the Fermi Paradox from this video (and part 2): ▶ this video That YouTube channel is awesome by the way. Say goodbye to the rest of your afternoon!
I find the pair of videos by Kurzgesagt on YouTube to be much more appealing for me. Link for people interested: 1. ▶ this video 2. link
