This is a portion of a conference and also a newish LPI format. Clearly a format they have high hopes for. I'm not sure I like them, they mock the honor of my attention-span, so if any viewers like them, you are going to have to tell me.
In this LPSC 52 series, this is the first of four videos I'm going to try and break down, each representing a day at the actual conference. In this video there are four speakers, loosely focusing on Mars.
Skip ahead to 10:30. There's nothing but a failed introduction format/process before 10:30.
- The core speaker does an Apollo to Artemis talk. She calls attention to an Apollo core sampling; literally an astronaut whacking a tube into the ground. Core samples are hard to come by and you can bet they will gradually become a bigger and bigger deal. I promise any Europa drill will have a LED and a camera on the side. Artemis will be able to test some prototypes.
- The Q&A extends to 23:20 and is ok...
- But then the whole rest of the talk is a panel discussion. It's an awkward experiment LPI did/is-doing in order to try and home in on a way to pack multiple young speakers in a video. I miss when they gave them 5 minutes to blurt out the TLDR of their thesis then beg for a job. putting them in a chat seems to be the trend lately but they end up spending a lot of time in transition or referring to their common experiences. Anyhoo, there is some facts in it, it just doesn't flow great.
- At 44:15 they announce things they are personally excited about. So you do get good behind-the-scenes context from these panels videos.
- At 48:10, a bit about ammonia on icy worlds. I'm a sucker for the topic of ice-minerals, but alas, it's all hypothetical for now.
