I did it😮I graduated through Slooh's A-Team NEO/ Asteroid training course. The A-Team track and measure the positions of these objects and submit their results to the M P C, which uses them to accurately determine the objects' orbits. So you're in safe hands 😅 #Slooh #asteroid

A new philosophy of the future is needed. I believe it should be curiosity about the Universe – expand humanity to become a multiplanet, then interstellar, species to see what’s out there.
