GeekSpeak – Asteroids! Are they a threat or an opportunity?
Join us in GeekSpeak to talk about asteroids. How many kinds of asteroid are there? How were asteroids made? We have visited and sampled a few asteroids now. Are there plans to catch one? (The answer is yes.)
Which asteroids are a threat to us, and which ones could be useful? What would happen if a fluffy asteroid like Bennu (sampled 2 months ago) were to hit Earth? And what would happen if a very heavy one like Psyche were to hit us? Is there anything we can do to defend ourselves?
Will we ever find life on an asteroid?
Ask all the questions about asteroids that you never dared to ask before. Hopefully we can get some answers. Bring a spacesuit, and your friends!
