Dr. Ed Lu (Former NASA Astronaut; CEO of the Sentinel Mission)
Asteroids,
which hit our planet at least twice each year, are the only natural
disaster for which we have a technological solution. We are all living
with the threat of a 3-minute experience that could transform our lives
and our planet forever. Scientists have found 10,000 Near-Earth Objects,
yet there are an estimated one million in our inner solar system, and
the vast majority of the threatening ones are still undiscovered. In
this non-technical talk, Astronaut Ed Lu describe the threat, and
discusses the Sentinel Mission, an orbiting telescope to detect and
track asteroids that cross Earth’s orbit.
