Watch Neil deGrasse Tyson Host ‘Selling Space’ Panel Tonight

Hot off of the popularity of the Cosmos reboot, host Neil deGrasse Tyson is going to host a panel at 7:30 p.m. EDT (11:30 p.m. UTC) tonight about “selling space.” Check it out in the livestream above. Here is the description from the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, which is hosting the event:

From serving NASA’s cargo needs to sending tourists on space vacations to mining asteroids for profit, aerospace engineers could transform space into our backyard. The sold-out 2014 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate at the American Museum of Natural History will explore the idea of “selling space” with a panel of six entrepreneurs and space historians. 

Besides Tyson (who is director of the museum’s Hayden Planetarium), here is who else is participating:

• Wanda M. Austin, President and CEO, The Aerospace Corportation
• Michael Gold, Director of DC Operations and Business Growth, Bigelow Aerospace
• John Logsdon, Professor Emeritus, Space Policy and International Affairs, George Washington University
• Elliot Pulham, Chief Executive Officer, Space Foundation
• Tom Shelley, President, Space Adventures, Ltd.
• Robert Walker, Executive Chairman, Wexler & Walker Public Policy Associates

There are no tickets left for the event, but you can watch it in the livestream above and interact with the hashtag #AsimovDebate.
