On tonight's show we bring you a wide-ranging and ground-covering hay fever dream of an episode as we look at how extraterrestrial life might likely be purple, how the new supersonic spy drone from China is stylishly designed like the American one that crashed there in the 70s, the supercomputers that will help us land men on Mars, and then we examine the news of a nanogenerator that turns CO2 into electricity has proven to work in recent laboratory tests.
All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A.
Keel.
