Summary

Space is an awesome place filled with virtually infinite wonders to explore, and human colonization will likely make far more.

0:00.0	Hello, SFIA audio listeners.
0:02.5	In this month's Nebula exclusive, big alien theory,
0:05.2	we're asking the reason alien civilizations might be rare is because most aliens are huge.
0:10.5	To hear it and every episode early and ad-free, plus hours of bonus content,
0:15.1	check out go.nebola.tv slash Isaac Arthur and use my code, Isaac Arthur.

0:55.0	the distance to other planets.
0:57.0	We've spent a lot of time talking about getting off Earth and colonizing new worlds, and
