Planetary Defense and in particular, the importance of Asteroid Deflection Missions, DART and HERA. The panel will look at Europe‘s role in US-European cooperation and evaluate the importance and value of multi-country and private industry collaborations on Space Missions and Planetary Science.

** Was the Apollo Program a Bad Idea? | A SciShow Documentary – An extended SciShow video sponsored by Draper’s “We Hack the Moon” initiative, which describes

…how engineers guided us to the moon and back with a fraction of today’s technology. The Apollo program was famous for being risky and expensive. It had a crunched timeline, daring astronauts, and lacked modern tech, and that all kind of makes you wonder… was the Apollo program a bad idea?
