Planetary Radio Live in Washington, D.C.: The Future of Space Politics

Description

Join hosts Sarah Al-Ahmed and Casey Dreier in a special live taping of Planetary Radio in the nation's capital. In this special event, following immediately after The Planetary Society's Day of Action, attendees will explore the future of space politics under new congressional and White House leadership.

With NASA in a geopolitical struggle to return humans to the moon, increasing influence from commercial space companies, potential budget cuts, and new committee leadership, the future of space exploration is at a pivotal moment. Speakers will explore the changing dynamics of national politics, the composition of elected officials overseeing NASA, and how a rapidly growing new industry could reshape the incentives that have driven the politics of the U.S. space agency since the end of Apollo.

Featuring:

• Bill Nye, CEO of The Planetary Society
• emerging leaders in space policy
• representatives of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Labs
