- Mining on the moon? Owning an asteroid? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice answer questions about the private space industry, the role of NASA, and the future of space law with former Deputy Administrator of NASA, Lori Garver.
Are we entering a new space age? We discuss the issues with the shuttle program and why we don’t go to the moon anymore. Why aren’t we on Mars yet? How much should the government spend on going to space? Explore the history of private industry in space, when it started, and why it didn’t happen sooner. Learn about Lori’s new book Escaping Gravity: My Quest to Transform NASA and Launch a New Space Age.
Who’s better: bureaucrats or billionaires? Will private industry in space cause even more companies to go into space? Learn about space startups and whether NASA will manage to stay at the forefront of space exploration in the US. Are we going to mine asteroids? What technology will we use? Find out about asteroids made of planet core and missions to research the asteroid Psyche.
Who owns what? We explore space law and what rules need to be established. Will space lawyers let companies own asteroids? Is the homestead model the best for space? We take a look at our own history of exploration on Earth and what lessons we can take into space exploration. Plus, is there such a thing as space pirates?

Elon rekt nasa
If my book wasn't finished I would read and reference her as I did Dr. Neil and StarTalk. This program is a real inspiration. I will still read her anyway.
I really want to know what Neil has to say about Elon Musks reckless launching of so many satellites for his Skynet internet company as to it's obscuring the view of telescopes, other space craft launches and use, and what not, and his forcing the Kessler effect to come exponentially earlier than calculated, and how he is even allowed to do it, which I can only see as crony capitalism despite the environment and future effects. It's bad enough that his Texas launch facility is an environmental disaster in the making, displaced whole communities, messes with transportation in the area, is a terrible place for it in the first place being too close to land masses, and he gets away with not sticking to the rules set forth because of the money it generates at the loss of everything else...
At what point do politicians and his investors take science and the environment into account, think farther ahead and recognize him for the conman he is (has thoroughly proved to be) and putting an end to it?
Dr Tyson, explain 1D-9D.
I'm getting increasingly worried that nobody knows 1D-9D (basic knowledge).
I Google 4th dimension info and get 5th dimension results.
That's a huge problem.
American scientists don't understand the basics?
1D, 2D, 3D are spatial
4D, 5D, 6D are temporal
7D, 8D, 9D are spectral
1D, 4D, 7D line/length/continuous
2D, 5D, 8D width/breadth/emission
3D, 6D, 9D height/depth/absorption
If American scientists are so wrong about the fundamental structure of our universe...how are you guys famous?
American scientists say we're 3D. I'm not joking. Twilight Zone level incompetence.
One of my favorite guests. Lori was exceptional in her industry knowledge but also in the give and take banter with Neil and Chuck. Made for a good flow and very entertaining.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite programs. 👏 keep up the good work guys.
So glad to hear it! Thanks for sticking with us. Keep Looking Up!
I just read a book of yours “astrophysics for people in a hurry” and I loved it a lot!
The reason I love watching Star Talk is that it's about learning, knowledge and progress, three things that I don't see enough of in the global sphere these days.
Love to you all!
I bet, along many avenues that are difficult to count, Neil’s conversations have inspired investments and careers in space exploration.. and b/c of that, we’ll reach the stars that much sooner.
We'll never get to other stars with manned missions, too far away.
@@JohnyG29 this comment won’t age well. Just wait a couple hundred years :p
@@Zagy21 Both you and I will be long dead by then lol, so I'll not care.
It's always a pleasure listening to Neil talk.
I love it when Chuck is the smartest person in the stream, even for a moment. Excellent points my dude.
Would be great to create an international space agency called "Starfleet"
If they do I love to be captain
Terrific show Neil, Lori & Chuck! Now I have to purchase another book to read. Thanks for posting the link to the book Neil! 👍👍😉😉
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of the best Star Talks I’ve watched. The guest Lori is knowledgeable and genuine and the dynamic duo NDT and CN were entertaining and informative too. More shows like this please.
I think it was great watching William Shatner go out into space. Umm hes like a orginal guy. I loved his response too. So natural and pure.
Great conversation between the three of you. I could see this kind of thing again and again because there is so much to cover. Like it would interesting to hear Lori's take on SLS. 👍
A follow up is surely needed!
I love all the episodes but the space ones are always my favourite. Thanks as always!!
You guys gotta have her back! This is the stuff I tune in and stick around for...
Fascinating! Loved your (Candid) guest.
This was a great episode 👏🏾
Great to hear!
great debate. chuck, funny as ever. love this show.
Great show that shed some light on issues going forward from here.
This was great. Lori was an amazing guest!
I ordered my copy !!! Thanks for an amazing conversation. You brought back a lot of memories as my Dad worked for Nasa during that time and even send Viking out to send back info. I heard that its 30+ years life span is almost over.
Thanks to your dad for doing important work!
As a German born in '66 and therefore a tad bit too young to have seen the moon landing live (though I must have seen it a dozen times on subsequent anniversaries) I would say that the rep you guys (as in: The US of effing A) earned through this investment on a global scale must certainly far outweigh the monetary equivalent spent.
That's exactly why it was done. The whole thing was a PR endeavor, The Democratic Capitalists had to beat the Communists.
I love when Chuck makes Neil laugh. So cute! 😊
Me too...real conversations laced with good humor💯
Please invite Lori Garver on again, this was a really enjoyable episode indeed!
I have loved Startalk for a while. I have a few of Neil's books and watch every episode. Really, what else is there to watch? Kidding but you know what I mean. Space with private investment is becoming a frontier where might governments be rendered irrelevant as they run out of money, reduce spending on the sciences or don't have the wherewithal or will to spend on anything to do with space/science.
Great stuff, and chapters two that’s great!
Fascinating!
That was fun. Bring her back soon.
Space mining & manufacturing will be mandatory for further exploration and exploitation of...space. All the stuff we need is out there.
It's not just space. It's also the innovation and discoveries and territories and resources derived from space. My concern is the people will not own those benefits if not done via the government.
As I watch this, SpaceX is loading their 33 raptor engine booster onto the chopsticks of their orbital launch tower! Great episode, StarTalk!
Me too!
27:45
Being a Houston Native… I’m impressed he knows we don’t have basements. I grew up there, 3rd - HS Graduation. Dad is retired NASA. (GO FHS Mustangs! CO ‘96)
Take us to the stars🚀⭐️💫🌟
Thanx for always helping chuck I see u
"Where the sun don't shine, Chuck". This is why I luv this show.
23:35 that in itself is a very interesting thought. Our ability to shrink is expanding 😃
Great video guys! PLEASE keep 'em coming! I worked at JSC for many years, though in a capacity you'd never guess, and it was hilarious to hear, and especially see, what Lori carefully did NOT say. ;). Reminded me of some good times. Miss the vibe and miss the cool things I got to see.
Don’t go all ageist on 11 year-olds. I was just camping with them, and they joined me while stargazing. A couple of them had a really solid grasp of cosmology.
Excellent! She's wonderful and super smart.
“Space is the show!”
-Chuck
beautiful, Thank you.
good, funny, interesting observations. more
I’m really impressed with Chuck’s insight in this episode, it was a joy to watch
That was lots of fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just "dangling in space" LOOOL . Neil is high AF. What a legend lol.
🍷🌹🖤🙏🙏🙏 much love startalkers and educators 💯
Follow-up future space travel question: will we be able to assign each science classroom it’s own block of data from an exploration vehicle? Next best thing to looking out the window would be being the first to peruse the satellite download.
I love this channel :)
I love this program. I've listened to past and present episodes only to crave more. I originally started listening because of hearing about Flat earth belief. What I know was reinforced and further expanded my knowledge. I love the banter between Chuck and Neil and I love it when I get to hear the experiences of astronauts. Space has always fascinated thank you guys so much for working my brain and blowing my mind all at the same time.
There should be no laws or regulations against any space travel. Enter at your own risk and come up with your own funding.
Chucks got a real Martin Lawrence vibe going on today!
Thanks Dr Neil
Great Show, EveryBody!
And even if there is money in it, a profit to make, certain things do not belong into hands of private companies, i.e. water, power, public transport, medical facilities ...
42:42 Gentle pushback on the decades long Saturn tour question: William Shatner didn't get to wander outside, and yet look at his reaction to the view from the window. Also, Paul Salopek is a journalist who has spent a decade walking along early human migratory routes (see Out of Eden on National Geographic). To be fair, the space tourist's view won't change a lot for a large length of the trip to Saturn, but there are people who would spend a good chunk of their years doing it anyway, and it's really hard to say it would be a waste of time.
Anything that has the public interest involved should never have a profit motive. You will always have somebody looking at it as a quarterly or yearly expense. It's the whole reason why you cannot run a government like a business. The ROI should not be measured in dollars.
Born and raised in Lowell MA. a dieing textile community, the space program. brought it back to life. plus gave the US citizens better tech. better computers and much more. Money well spent.
What role did Lowell have in the space program?
This video is gonna do good in the algorithm just from the title.
She was a great guest!
Thanks for the feedback!
@@StarTalk *I clicked everyone’s **#Like** button on their comments so it will activate **#CZcams**’s **#algorithms** so this video would come back up on this social media network.* 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💰
For anyone that sees William Shatner as little more than a comedic prop so to say I'd recommend his episode of Hot Boxin with Mike Tyson (just keep an open mind) I think you see pieces of the real Bill on that episode. This is fascinating stuff. I have to learn more about the politics etc involved with the private sector.
Awesome
Her smile is something else
It's very wholesome
Good talk on economics, i have "no 'bout a doubt it"
I was 10 when I waited to midnight to watch this three guys expose to danger for curosity. I saw a moon roc k in the NYC planetarium
The time is now!
Thanks for the video
Thanks for the comment!

I need a full star talk on this one.!
I've been watching Shark Tank, so I misread the guest name as Lori Grenier. I was a bit confused, but went with it and was very pleasantly surprised
Neil and Chuck for 2024
Huge solar panel arrays smelting asteroids might be profitable enough to become a new gold rush. Producing materials in space would be instrumental to manufacturing larger, long range habitat space craft. I like the earth environment effect moving manufacturing in to space and sending huge crowds of people off on interstellar missions.
I've always said start your calls and don't let your calls when stir you
I’m heading to space rn 😉
Early on, NASA did launch an astronaut who had room for awe in his situation-Scott Carpenter (though the situation was only partly his fault). They decided it'd be a bad idea after that.
Lori *ROCKS!*
Stunts can serve to help keep public attention on space travel, however.
29:41 Neil should have said spoiler ALERT first 🤣
We love you 💜💜
Lori, Chuck and Neil--Please, we are forgetting something. The size--the enormity and probably heart-stopping beauty of the vista of Jupiter is--in and of itself--a reason to send humans to the Jovian system--not to mention that boots on the ground on some of Jupiter's moons will open up insight that machines never can--as good as they are. The inspiration therefrom would likely be capable of dwarfing the overlook effect.
This is scary but amazing? I am presently uploading a kindle book about Space and one of my chapters is Escaping Earth's Gravity.
I garuntee there are some mighty salaries that take a considerable portion away from the budget - not to mention, there are those whom exist with no ethical issue of artificially extending work/jobs to get a bigger paycheck.
Plus mining needs refining so the budget would be tight because you would be overhauling impurities unless you have a refiner in space.
Respect👍
Chuck Yeager said he was NASA/NACA’s biggest critic. During the Cold War he felt space should be weaponized.
🇺🇲🏅🎖️👨🏻🚀Whit all do respect greetings to the Great "Neil deGrasse Tyson" You are my hero , sincerely Jose Silva from San Diego CA USA.
Love San Diego!
I recognize that Michigan accent, Lori!
Thanks! -- Let's not forget the number of patents that transferred to private industry--and those patents fed the American economy. The return in corporate income, about "15 dollars for every single dollar expended on space. Cash cow.
Lov3 it
@StarTalk what are the chances that mining asteroids could overtime cause the mass of the earth to increase causing the planet to seek a new equilibrium path in it's orbit that would cause us to be too close or too far away (or both) from the sun for it to be habitable on earth. Would we need to maybe transport an equal mass of earth to an asteroid, as the amount we intend to mine, in order to preserve the balance or is this something that does not need serious consideration. Thanks.
I’ve thought about that as well
Regarding the 8K picture frames idea....... Forget that...... Think VR.
Time code 15:00 - did she say, "Snot rocket" !?
random note, I would rethink saying pitch tent...
I could really do with a conduit to the cosmos today. It’s been a stinker
@15:20, I was watching a gif on Reddit. "Intense reaction of lithium with water. Lithium-ion batteries can be very dangerous."
🔥
I suggest caution at anyone’s introduction is based on errors of previous factors…whether it be a system, a group, theories, OPINION…
Is this an example of work expands to accommodate the available money?
It would be fantastic to put a few cameras on the moon, a few more on Mars and a few in space that could be accessed by anyone on Earth that you could flip to each camera to view. Worth a paid membership, except me, I'm broke lol.
But would that not increase interest and funding for more?
I want a space elevator already! 😀 we need material from mined asteroids to build space habitats
35:03 And how is nobody addressing the issue with mining on the Moon could eventually end up destabilizing the Earth-Moon gravitational balance?
Should we not be reminded by those fine scientists and Lord Chuck that the Earth is not inherited from the past generations, but instead is borrowed from the future ones?
she just quoted George Costanza
