It is with deep sadness that we at Closer To Truth, along with our viewers, acknowledge the death of Frank Drake on September 2, 2022 at the age of 92. More importantly, we celebrate his life and seminal contributions to how we think about the universe, the possibility (to Frank, the high likelihood) that extraterrestrial intelligences populate the universe. He made significant contributions to radio studies of the planets and was one of the founding pioneers of the search for extraterrestrial intelligences; he was one of the first trustees of the SETI Institute. His eponymous “Drake Equation” set the standard for estimating probabilities of extraterrestrial intelligences.
