Space Q&A with r/India redditors

blog.jatan.space

My Ask me Anything session on the r/India subreddit last Thursday was a blast. The redditors asked so many great questions on space, ranging from asteroid mining to ISRO to finding life to settling on Mars. Here are direct links to some of my favorite questions & answers.

  • What do you think are the possibilities of asteroid mining stations to be set up in the near future?

  • What do you think of Elon Musk's idea to cause nuclear explosions on Mars?

  • When will we have an Indian Carl Sagan tier science communicator? Something urgently needed given the rampant pseudoscience.

  • Two questions from an r/ISRO moderator:

    • What is your view on NASA's Artemis Accords and how relevant are they to ISRO given India is one of the few signatories to Moon Treaty?

    • What should be ISRO's approach to its fledgling space science missions especially now with additional and potentially conflicting goals related to human spaceflight?

  • What do you think is the qualitative difference between people who work at ISRO and other US/EU nations?

  • How much of a boost will space science missions get when SpaceX Starship becomes functional?

  • What do you think the (far) future of humanity is going to be?

There are about 50 more questions in there, have fun!

If you appreciate what I do, especially that all my articles are absolutely free to access and show zero ads, I’d be grateful for your support.
