If you’re interested in the future of spaceflight, it’s worth taking the time to watch this video from The Amazing Meeting (TAM) 2011. Lightly moderated by Phil Plait of the blog Bad Astronomy, the panel features Bill Nye (the science guy), famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, legendary physicist Lawrence Krauss and astronomer Pamela Gay.
At issue is whether human spaceflight is as valuable as robotic probes, and whether or not to go ice fishing on Europa.
It’s important to note that although panelists mention the James Webb telescope, the panel took place before the SLS decision.
