If the Australian space agency met alien life would we be as racist to them as we are to other people of earth?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think smaller nations like NZ might start building there own programs, and if so do you see collaboration between departments likely?

# data[].attributes.body
Not to bring the night down, but what would the worst version of this space program look like?

# data[].attributes.body
Whilst sensible for the inspiration of citizens, should we be focusing on the national name created from space work where the field is such an international location

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for the carbohydrate based satellites for dinner!

Can humans live on Mars ?

Why Kazakhstan?

Did the panel binge watch "Lost in Space" on Netflix, and pick the bad science in the show?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think there is a commercial case for a space recycling/removal business?

# data[].attributes.body
Does Australia have the potential to create a parallel to Americas silicon valley?

# data[].attributes.body
Why do we need to launch from Australia. If is more efficient to launch from the ecuator?. Publicity stunt?

Congratulations on hosting an all female panel!

Is it possible to grow potatoes on mars?

Could you please comment on the area of medicine and implication to human health with space expeditions.

# data[].attributes.body
Why is it difficult for Australia to launch satellites into space?

# data[].attributes.body
What's the coolest space junk story?

# data[].attributes.body
What considerations have been taken concerning the launch areas and the local ecosystems?

# data[].attributes.body
Should Australia not be focussing more on creating sustainable life on earth before looking forward to a future around space?

# data[].attributes.body
Can you tell us more about the treaties Australia has signed regarding space and it's use

# data[].attributes.body
Aboriginal artwork on rockets and space craft perhaps. Or at the very least aboriginal names for our craft.

# data[].attributes.body
Does micro gravity have any advantages for fields not directly dealing in physics research. ie; manufacture, medicine, nanotech?

At a time when governments are running budget deficits, we need more money in education/health and governments around the world are contemplating tax cuts, do you think it is justified to fund space programs and do you feel there is appetite in the private sector to fund space programs (as space technology could have practical uses in defence, manufacturing, etc)?

# data[].attributes.body
Would you imagine that having a retrieval process/policy may become a requirement for future launches because of the space waste problem? Linda & James

# data[].attributes.body
Can you comment on New Zealand's 3D printed rockets and whether it is likely that we would collaborate with NZ to further our space endeavours

# data[].attributes.body
How do you think space is going to be regulated?

# data[].attributes.body
Are cubesats a sensible idea if space is already full of "spacejunk"... Are we going to run out of real estate in space too?

# data[].attributes.body
What can we realistically do about the space waste orbiting Earth? Linda& James

# data[].attributes.body
What regulations or controls exist if I want to put something into orbit or beyond?

# data[].attributes.body
Yuri was so cute

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think massive future research ships with no intention to return to earth but rather to study and return discovered information are ethical and or viable?

# data[].attributes.body
So would that mean we’d have our own launch facility?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that private space travel not under the auspices of any single government poses an inherent threat to world safety as stated by Buzz Aldrin?

# data[].attributes.body
Do things like cubesats add massive amounts of space junk

# data[].attributes.body
What happened to the "Woomera" Rocket Range in S.A.?? Is it still being used in some capacity?
John.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you to the Scienceworks crew for making Ben's adventure a lot easier tonight! But I was hoping the panel would like to have a quick discussion about the future of medicine in space! What happens when someone (like Ben) breaks their leg? What risks are inherent in bringing someone down or treating in space. What do you see as the future of space medicine?

# data[].attributes.body
The moonjitos are enough to send me into orbit

# data[].attributes.body
Don't we all orbit the earth at ground level ? 😉

# data[].attributes.body
We are talking about sending people to Mars etc... I’m not sure how long - maybe it takes astronauts more than half a year? It’s a long time to be confined to a tiny space and probably needs a strong mentality... with the current technology, how far can humans travel beyond Mars? Out of solar system?

# data[].attributes.body
What do you think of Space X BFR?

# data[].attributes.body
The Government has announced that part of the reasons for an Australian Space Agency is for national security. How do you think this will impact on international co-operation?...will this put a handbrake on the possible success of such an agency?

# data[].attributes.body
How likely is a space elevator?

# data[].attributes.body
Where did space junk stem from?

# data[].attributes.body
How do we prevent arms races in space?

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you, you are all an amazing inspiration! 💗

# data[].attributes.body
How realistically is mankind far away from establishing primary residence on another habitable planet?

# data[].attributes.body
Yuri had "the right stuff"

# data[].attributes.body
What can we realistically do about all space waste orbiting Earth?

# data[].attributes.body
Are there any plans in place to address the growing collection of space junk? Are we likely to see legislation to limit ‘disposable’ objects launched into space and how is this impacting  existing infrastructure in orbit?

# data[].attributes.body
Yayyyyy! Space!

# data[].attributes.body
What are some of the Earth based outcomes private companies are looking to with their space exploration projects?

# data[].attributes.body
When can I go to space? How much?

# data[].attributes.body
Would you be concerned about political ideology or bias interfering with the goals of the (hopefully) independent agency?

# data[].attributes.body
Yuri is out of this world. 😍👨‍🚀💓🌏

# data[].attributes.body
What do you define as space junk?

# data[].attributes.body
Would large amounts of cube sats clog up space/ cause hazards for future space expeditions?

# data[].attributes.body
We just watched Space Next and were concerned to hear the emphasis on extracting resources from space. How can we regulate this and are you concerned that we are not learning from our mistakes on Earth in regard to waste and exploitation?

# data[].attributes.body
Would the Australian space agency consider running an arts program like SETI and CERN do, where artists can come and stay study learn research and make work in response to the space program?

# data[].attributes.body
Dr Gorman: why Venus?
