Real Martians Moment: Have Rock Will Travel
[vid_tags]
Dan Maznek is a Senior Space Systems Engineer at NASA’s Langley Research Center. Dan is excited about the big ideas NASA has about its Asteroid Redirect Mission. You may have heard the agency is planning to capture an asteroid and move it into orbit around the moon. ”Why?”, You might ask. “Well, this is not your run of the mill, “bring me a rock” exercise. On the contrary. The technologies and the operational capabilities that will be developed to enable us to retrieve the asteroid, move it and send astronauts to it for research, will be repurposed to also help us send astronauts to Mars. How’s that for an idea?!

And whilst this is happening, everyone else is just watching some overrated teenager scream down a microphone…
This is one of the coolest ideas to come out of NASA.
I live on a sphere.
I thought this would have something to do with the florida based folk rock group; have gun will travel.
duh, me sci-en-stuff, me have rock, me travel.
btw great title (sarcasm implied)
This seems to be an achievable objective within a reasonable time & budget.
If this mission is successful, which I hope it will, it could galvanize the public’s imagination & political will to go on to Mars.
😍👍
