NASA recently announced its Grand Challenge to protect Earth from hazardous objects and is currently tracking more than 10,000 near-Earth asteroids and comets. NASA is also considering sending astronauts to these objects since they enable testing of deep space exploration systems and serve as stepping stones to Mars and beyond. The panelists will discuss NASA’s efforts to understand the near-Earth object population and whether these objects represent opportunities or threats for humanity.
