#171 – Grimerica Talks The Solar System and Exploration of with Emily Lakdawalla

Emily Lakdawalla – Planetary Evangelist and Senior Editor at Planetary Society joins us to chat about the exploration of our solar system. There has been so much going on in the last few years and Emily is an absolute wealth of our solar system. There are many projects on Mars and right now and many coming and going to the moon.

We chat about Light Sails, the variety of objects like Pluto – but not quite planets, Ocean world potential and the many moons, Near Earth Object detection, and landing on comets with the possibility of mining and manufacturing in situ.

In the intro we chat about Napolean’s “Lost Bread” comic now available, and our local observatory’s “milky way nights” during the summer. Graham reads a great trip report from a listener and of course the NA meet up is this Saturday in Red Deer. Please help support the show and our “UPGRADE” fund raiser for a new recording computer.
