During our 11.5 minute discussion, we discussed the newly announced B 612 Foundation's first privately funded deep space mission, the SENTINEL Project. This project will launch a specially built infrared 20" space telescope to orbit 170 million miles from Earth to discover and map near earth asteroids of potential risk and interest to us here on Earth. Dr. Jones explained the program to us, responded to questions about why infrared, why a loop around Venus and why an orbit so far from Earth around the sun. We talked about the cost of the program as well as the timelines. Other topics included mass extinction events, becoming a multi-planet species, and more.
