I took part in this fantastic show for ESA TV as part of the Asteroid Day programming. It was produced by BoffinMedia and presented by Richard Hollingham who interviewed asteroid experts Dr Katie Joy, from the University of Manchester, Prof Alan Fitzsimmons from Queen’s University Belfast and Dr Detlef Koschny from ESA. The programme also features literal space rockstar Dr Brian May (of QUEEN fame…but he is also an astrophysicist) and Astronaut Luca Parmitano.
You can catch-up with the show above, where we chat everything asteroids, including how we study them, how we can divert them from Earth-crossing orbits and how we might one day utilise them for their precious metals.
