Space. The final frontier.

November 8, 2018
|
Claire Brassard

These are the tweets of a longtime journalist and author that sparked speculation of an alien invasion.

His approximately 15-minute mission:

To link together a series of factual but unrelated stories related to space in a manner that suggested something incredible was going on.

To spark a discussion about how we process and consume fragments of news in the social media age

Just what else is out there? And why do we want to believe?

GUEST: Andrew Potter, journalist, author
