  • 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?

      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

    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.

    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.

    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.

The inspiration therefrom would likely be capable of dwarfing the overlook effect.

    @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.
