From Space: “Red tape is making it tougher for researchers to study and characterize asteroid strikes on Earth, which are apparently more common than previously thought, experts say. The bureaucratic snafu affects the use of U.S. government space assets that help scientists study “airbursts” like the meteor that exploded without warning over Russia last year. At issue is the ability to combine space data with outputs from a global network of seismic, infrasound and hydroacoustic sensors that have been deployed worldwide to provide treaty verification for a nuclear test ban.” Watch the livestreaming press conference with astronauts Dr. Ed Lu, Dr. Tom Jones and Bill Anders as they address this urgent issue. We’ll have the conference live on our site; mark your calendar for Tuesday, April 22 @ 11:30am PST.
