https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI7BBHAhdSo


Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay.


Streamed live on Nov 9, 2025.


We are powerless fans of space exploration. But what if some fool
gave us the authority and funding to make our space dreams a
reality? Someone asked us what we’d do with a billion dollars.
What missions? Which telescopes? But what if we had more? 100
Billion! A trillion! All the monies! You keep asking, and this
week we answer you! Come hear what Fraser and Pamela would do if
they were given complete control over $1billion that had to be
used for astronomy.
