podClast episode 8 is the Chris and Chris show. We discuss crypogeography with hidden mountains in Antarctica, extremophile bacteria living high atop the Andes, panspermia, extraterrestrial life and the hunt for Earth-size planets with NASA’s Kepler mission.

Ceres, it’s the largest object in the Asteroid Belt. Dawn, it’s the plucky little satellite hurtling its way across the inner solar system towards the Asteroid Belt. And panspermia, a fascinating hypothesis with absolutely no supporting evidence.
