Lasers, Asteroids, and The Jetsons

Wouldn’t it be unbelievable if a spaceship could land on an
asteroid, collect rocks that could reveal the secrets of life’s
origins, and then return to Earth? Well, believe it, because it
already happened! On this episode, a conversation with Dante
Lauretta, leader of NASA’s expedition to the most dangerous rock in
our solar system. You’ll also hear from the chief of DIA’s Space
and Counterspace office about securing the nation’s vital interests
in space -- both today and tomorrow. Finally, we go back to the
future with The Jetsons, the classic cartoon that was a century
ahead of its time. *Nothing in this podcast should be construed to
