As we discover more planets around the stars in our own galaxy, it is natural to wonder if we may finally be on the brink of answering the question, are we alone in the universe . Finding other life in the universe would be the most significant discovery in human history. Scientists estimate that there are 80 billion stars in the milky way galaxy. To date more than 1,700 nearby planets have been found by the earth space telescope.

We are worried about advanced threats centered around espionage. The problem has gotten much more complex. Joining the conversation today is joe marks from politico, technology reporter. Thank you.
