Funny People Love Space | Tony Baker, Comedian
This version has the corrected audio
Tony Baker is a comedian, actor, creator, and lifelong astronomy fan who came into this conversation ready with the National Geographic space book that first got him hooked as a kid.
Expect to learn how Tony thinks about space, comedy, God, science, acting, stand-up, observation, crows, astrology, astronomy, alien life, and the absurd luck of existing at all. We talk about why comedians are professional observers, why space makes us feel small in a good way, whether intelligent life is out there, why aliens probably have not visited Earth, and why the distances between stars and galaxies are so hard to overcome.
The conversation also covers dinosaurs, mass extinctions, water worlds, Mars, Venus, Saturn, the Moon, natural disasters, whether Tony would go to space, and why humans may be the biggest threat to life on Earth.
Hosted by Dr. Dakotah Tyler.
Lead with curiosity.
