Welcome to Astronomy Daily for the 29th of May 2023 – S02E09 In this episode, we talk about NASA's interesting influences on our daily life, some interesting inventions and developments that they've dumped on us over the years as well as something that China has been developing and has been flying over our heads for the last nine months. We also discuss an asteroid that may host life's building blocks which will get a visit from a United Arab Emirates spacecraft about a decade from now if all goes according to plan. The UAE announced in October 2021 that it plans to launch an ambitious mission to the asteroid belt in 2028. That mission will visit seven different space rocks and even land on one of them, an asteroid called 269 Justisha. Sheikh Muhammad bin Rashid Al-Makhtum bin Rashid Al-Makhtum, the vice president and prime minister of the UAE and the ruler of Dubai, said in a statement that we will never cease to look ahead. We will never cease our efforts to develop a brighter future for our young generations.² Astronomy Daily – The Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.
