Overview
Have you ever watched Armageddon and wondered if it really is easier to turn a drill expert into an astronaut than vice versa? Of course you have – and this event probably won’t answer that question, but it will uncover the threat from asteroids and suggest how to think about planetary defence – from early warning to deflection or using nuclear weapons.
Join author Robin George Andrews as he takes you on a mildly worrying journey to understand how humanity might avert Armageddon. He will be joined by a panel of experts to discuss the history and reality of weapons in space and how international partnerships are shaping the use of space today.
