For millions of years, asteroids have been striking the Earth, often causing considerable damage, widespread changes in climate, and even leading to massive extinction events. What should we do to protect ourselves from future asteroid impacts?


Come learn from NASA experts about the threats to our planet from asteroids and other near-Earth objects, discuss the tradeoffs of asteroid protection strategies with others, and make recommendations for the future of our planet’s safety!


Speakers:
- Victoria Friedensen, Program Executive, Planetary Defense Coordination Office, NASA
- Lindley Johnson, Planetary Defense Officer, NASA


Presented in Collaboration with NASA
