Physical Descriptionaix, 182p. illus., figures, tables
Summary, Etc.aWhere Are They? Enrico Fermi is reputed to have asked this question at the dawn of the atomic age. He must have been wondering why, having discovered and tamed nuclear energy sources, advanced extra-terrestrials were not in evidence here on Earth or out in the skies. During the 1960's and early 1970's, Fermi's question was largely forgotten or ignored. Advances in radio astronomy, the American and Soviet space programs, the blossoming of the study of molecular biology, and progress in laboratory simulations of prebiological organic chemistry all contributed, in their own way, to a euphoric belief among many scientists that life in the cosmos is commonplace and might even be discovered soon. At a more popular level, numerous reports of close encounters of the second and third kind, lavishly bankrolled science fiction movies, and enormously popular books on ancient astronauts all served to promote the idea that they are out there and will soon be, or already have been, here.0
