Why are there no binary planets? Should you buy into dark energy and dark matter? What apps are best for stargazing? And in Q&A+, why don't NASA just bring put wipers on Mars solar panels?
00:00 Intro

00:25 [@EdSceptic-y2e] Why are there no binary planets?

02:39 [@andrewczski1969] Do you buy into dark matter?

08:46 [@alcalbg] Does total dark energy increase as space expands?

10:11 [@Noonyuh] What are your favorite apps or sites for real-time maps of the sky?

15:22 [@andrewczski1969] just couldn't send along swiffers, huh?

Are interferometers the future of telescopes? Can we aim at stars by knowing only where they were billions of years ago? Is the Apophis asteroid still dangerous? And in Q&A+, can we just sent the SG-1 to it?
00:00 Intro

00:37 [@PerryM-vy4fe] Are Interferometers the future of space telescopes?

03:36 [@Frosty.Winnipeg] If we can see stars a billion light years away can we guesstimate where they are now?

05:29 [@PeterYannick] Where do we have to aim a laser if we want to sent a message to Alpha Centauri?

07:19 [@andrewczski1969] Apophis in 2029 can shut the WHOLE show down, no?

12:43 [@kairon156] Are there any plans on getting rock samples from Mar's moons?

14:25 [@Frosty.Winnipeg] Can’t we just send SG-1 to face Apophis?

If SpaceX no longer want Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon, why won't NASA just buy them for themselves? What would a perfect space station look like? What is being done to improve the deep space network? And in Q&A+, finally, a Lagrange Point question.
00:00 Intro

00:27 [@kairon156] What would a perfect space station look like?

08:13 [@endigo2007] Can NASA buy the remaining Falcon 9's and operate them to send Dragon to ISS?

10:57 [@musicover5] Is there work being done to increase the bandwidth of the deep space network?

14:14 [@jamessobek196] Does the Moon jiggle L2 Lagrange points?
