The von Karman Lecture Series NASA Asteroid Redirect
A Theodore von Kármán Lecture Series talk, held November 6 and 7 at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, addressed the key aspects of the agency’s Asteroid Redirect Robotic Mission (ARRM) concept, which seeks to rendezvous with, capture, and redirect to translunar space a near-Earth asteroid.
Oh the irony. He's talking about how to accomplish a technologically complex and unprecedented mission but they can't even get the right video to play.
Doesn't take long to see why he has trouble starting a video from within a presentation . .. . 15:44 min.
They''ve been tempted to install the VLC media player.!?! ( expected a JpL system administrator to be smarter)
Better remove it and just use Windows 7 build-in media player AND install K-Lite Codec Pack Full to let the Win7Player
recognise & play all known video types

btw. Great lecture, thanks
It's because there's an alien base on the moon and we don't want to bother them…that guy was so intense! XD
I think it's amazing that y'all are putting this on YouTube! Getting a lecture about cutting edge technology and exploration in space for free? Awesome! I love science 🙂
To capture an uncooperative asteroid? UFO? Haha.
This would be a good job for the VASIMR electric propulsion system, when it is ready; they, the developers, are saying about three years. You couple that higher power engine with nuclear reactors which were announced under development a couple of years ago by NASA. and we would be in a position not to have to plan ahead so many years in advance. Its nice to see them moving ahead at last.
Not just one video but more video got delayed at 15:05 / 21:20 / 32:30.
I just got obsess to the person who is operating the computer.
This is why the Peter Principal-ized arms of the Government use Windows, but the NSA and NASA use LINUX and derivatives therefrom. They do not spend any time producing presentation platforms though, and wind up fumbling through unfamiliar, poorly explained tech for presentations. Just below my comment +Tanks in Space demonstrates more savvy than they seem to have with Windows. SETI does this same Presentation Tech Faceplant constantly. Empty niche needs filling?

Was about time to tell something about the Kermans. We are not alone!
Incredibly exciting stuff! I am really happy to see the beginnings of more manned missions being planned out. Even if it is only part of a technical demo I hope that this really sparks the planning of more manned missions in the future. Especially to lunar orbit.
It would be really exciting to see a successor of the ISS to be somewhere like the moon.
goes to the moon, cant play a video
I dont thin ull get into there throuh!
The only reason NASA is exploring these type of missions is… Corporate. 🙁
