Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gaining InSight
Q: How did you manage to pinpoint a single location from a single measurement?
We used three component data and rotated the signals to find the angle of maximum amplitude, allowing us to identify the quake's origin.
Gaining InSight
Q: What mechanisms within Mars could cause some of the large seismic events given the lack of plate tectonics?
The mechanisms could include volcanic activity related to old lava flows and the gravitational pressure caused by elevation differences on the planet's surface.
The AstroCamp Panel!
Q: If you could choose a mission, what would you choose to do?
Ralph would plan a mission to Uranus due to its unexplored nature, while Paul would want to drill through the ice on Europa to access the ocean below.

The phosphine signal on Venus is still under investigation, with some data suggesting its presence while further studies could provide conclusive evidence.
The AstroCamp Panel!
Q: What does it appear as if NASA are taking UFO evidence semi-seriously?
NASA has been commissioned to investigate UFOs scientifically to understand the phenomena better and to separate them from conspiracy theories, focusing on a scientific approach with the use of technology and data collection.
