Guide To Space - Catching Interstellar Objects. What If We Could Explore Oumuamua Or 2I/Borisov?

<p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vdCFYvxGZw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vdCFYvxGZw</a><br /> <strong>From May 14, 2020.</strong></p> <p><strong>Host:</strong> Fraser Cain ( <a href= "https://twitter.com/fcain">@fcain</a> )</p> <p>The distances to other stars are depressingly enormous. Sure, it’s incredibly far to get to Mars, Jupiter, and even Pluto, but at least you can design a robotic spacecraft to make the journey and see the science results in your own lifetime.</p> <p> </p> <p>But in the case of other stars, interstellar flight times will take thousands and even tens of thousands of years to send just a robotic mission.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p> </p> <p>Fortunately, the Milky Way has got our back. Other star systems have been hurling comets and asteroids towards the Solar System. All we’ve got to do… is catch them.</p> <p> </p> <p>We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Just visit: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy">https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy</a> and donate as much as you can!</p> <p>Share the podcast with your friends and send the Patreon link to them too!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Every bit helps!
