For those who did not make the Comet Bash (and some Cosmos I news)
Speakers were:
- Bruce Betts the MC.
- Louis Friedman who gave a talk about the Cosmos I mission. The news: there will be a Cosmos II mission with the same basic design (using some parts left over, etc.). It will not use a Volna launcher. Details are very fuzzy at this point. Look for more info at Labor Day.
- Rusty Schweikert gave one of his passionate talks about the NEO hazard.
- Bill Nye gave a humorous talk about comets and Deep Impact.
- Deep Impact scientist Bill Smyth gave a Deep Impact presentation.
- Bruce Betts, Bill Nye, and Bill Smyth gave color commentary as we watched the NASA TV presentation.
Very good show!
