Markus Payer spoke with Simon about The Asteroid Foundation, which celebrates the 8th Asteroid Day on 30 June and 1 July 2023.

Asteroid Day brings the global space community together, to educate and learn about space, the history of our solar system, the future of space exploration, and planetary defense.

The Asteroid Day Space Lecture on 30 June 2023 gives space enthusiasts the opportunity to peek into asteroid and space research. It takes place in Tramsschapp, 49 Rue Ermesinde from 16.00 to 18.00, and concludes with the Space Happy Hour, sponsored by OffWorld at 18:00. The Asteroid Day Festival on 1 July 2023 promotes space and asteroid science to children, students, and adults. It will gather astronauts, engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs, offering panel discussions on a wide range of topics. It will also take place in Tramsschapp between 10.00 and 18.00.
