Emerging insights from the new science of astrobiology paints a picture of a universe seeded with potential life. While astronomers discover new exoplanets every other week or so, biologists are finding unexpected life in some of the most inhospitable environments on earth. Together, their work is leading to a discovery most believe is inevitable: biological life on another planet. We talk with science writer Marc Kaufman, planetary scientist Dmitri Sasselov, Vatican astronomer "Brother Guy" Consolmagno, and science fiction writer Orson Scott Card.
