In the midst of a pandemic, will missions be suspended and delayed? Will space exploration be viewed as an unnecessary luxury? Or, could this crisis bring the world together to invest in science?

Join two leaders in space exploration Tuesday, May 19 for less than an hour at 4:00 pm EDT to consider space exploration in the age of social distancing.
