Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

On today's episode, we’ll be speaking with Phil Plait, creator of the Bad Astronomy newsletter, to discuss his new book, Under Alien Skies: A Sightseer’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Under Alien Skies places you on the surface of alien worlds, from our own familiar moon to the far reaches of our solar system and beyond. So whether you are an aspiring extraterrestrial citizen, casual space tourist, or curious armchair traveler, Phil's latest book is an illuminating, always-entertaining guide to the most otherworldly views in our universe.
Phil knew he wanted to be an astronomer since the age of 5, when he first saw Saturn through a flimsy department store telescope. From that point on through many twists and turns, spending ten years working with Hubble Space Telescope as an observer, a programmer, and a calibration scientist led to him becoming a professional astronomer. Astronomical outreach is Phil’s passion now and he created and writes the Bad Astronomy newsletter which is one of the most popular astronomical science blogs. He also holds a PhD in Astronomy from the University of Virginia.
