Ice Worlds, A Moon Landing and Blasting an Asteroid _on Planetary Radio
When will we return to Uranus and Neptune? Planetary scientist Amy Simon explains why a mission to the so-called ice giants is a high priority as she tells us about these mysterious, blue worlds. Planetary Society Digital Editor Jason Davis takes us through what promises to be a very busy month in space, with the launch of the second Falcon Heavy, a moon landing by Israels Beresheet probe, and how Hayabusa2 will blow a hole in asteroid Ryugu, complete with sound effects. Then join us for another round of Whats Up in the Solar System.
Featured Speakers: Planetary scientist Amy Simon, Digital Editor Jason Davis, Chief Scientist Bruce Betts, Host Mat Kaplan
