Katherine V. Rowe is a graduate of Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia with a major in Political Science and Law. Her main ambition is to conclusively answer The God Question in a way that resonates with both the scientific and spiritual communities. She admires most Leon Lederman, for his courage and humor in The God Particle, and Douglas Adams, for demonstrating that bigger-picture theory can be hilariously witty.
Katherine comes to Alpha Centauri & Beyond with a vast background in cosmology, having accomplished extensive research into the nature of existence and consciousness. She is at the forefront of a new idea that will stand strong among the giants of modern scientific literature.
She discusses the outline of her up-coming book, The God Answer. In it she will examine the work of Dr. Persinger with the God Helmet, the importance of Lederman and the Higgs Boson "God particle", and how they relate to research and the examination of a new era.

We need to leave the Earth, not because we’re curious, but because we have to. It is a fact that something catastrophic will occur here in the future. It has happened before and it will happen again. Earth has been plagued with tsunamis, violent super-massive volcanoes, meteor strikes, magnetic polarity shift, major solar flare, quasars, black hole encounters and other unknown events. All this is beside the fact that Earth is on a collision course with overpopulation. Now Don Prescott raises the question in the preparation in his new book entitled, Is There Time?
Don Prescott’s Background:
As a Fortune 500 aerospace executive for over thirty years and a planetarium program director for an additional ten years, Donald Richard Prescott has been planning and managing successful, complex operations for decades where strategic planning is an essential tool.
Leaving the Earth will not be an easy task and may take hundreds of years. The preparations are staggering. Just thinking about a mission to Mars is mind-boggling. Leaving the Earth to colonize other regions in space, whether those are planets or satellites in our own solar system or voyages to inter-stellar space, we are going to be challenged, as a species, like never before.
Mars -- Are We Going?.
Show Notes:
September 13, 2010 marks the first Mars discussion segment. A lot has happened since the days of all those great Mars science fiction movies of the mid 90's.
