Trained as a "hard" scientist and Ph.D. astronomer, former astronaut O'Leary talks about the possibility of expanding science to include the serious study of such paranormal events as telepathy, UFO's, and the Faces on Mars project. He encourages science to stand in a new place because "No problem can be solved from the place it was created." O'Leary gives an uplifting view of the possibilities of space exploration as having the potential for global cooperation. (hosted by Michael Toms)
