Ask the Expert: The Hazards of Space Debris with Bill Cooke An Online Event

Description

A monthly online VIRTUAL event where you can quiz our knowledgeable experts. News stories sometimes feature reports about reentering space junk, even speculating on possibly being able to “shoot it down.” The public is increasingly reporting bright fireballs, some of which produce meteorites that land on private property and have been known to damage houses and cars. It would seem that the sky is always falling… But what are the real risks? Join Bill Cooke, manager of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office at Marshall Space Flight Center, for a realistic assessment of the space debris hazard, not only to us ground dwellers but to astronauts and space vehicles. Have a question? Please submit it beforehand on our Facebook event page. This event will be LIVE on Facebook.
