Do you think there is life on other planets? (1962)
Australian reporter Ray Taylor asks people on the streets of Sydney a simple question in August 1962:
Do you think there is life on other planets?
The responses are fascinating. One man is convinced after seeing a flying saucer over Lane Cove. Another appeals to the Bible. One woman imagines life shaped by the atmosphere of another planet — and says she’d like to be the first woman in space.
A wonderful little time capsule of how people imagined life beyond Earth at the dawn of the Space Age.
