Elakeyaa Selvaraji and Hairianto Diman speak with Quentin Parker, Emeritus Professor and Immediate Past-Director of the Laboratory for Space Research at the University of Hong Kong, to find out what makes Roman different, when its first major discoveries could emerge and how technology originally intended for US spy satellites could reshape space exploration. He's also the CEO and CO-founder of Science, Safety and Sustainability for Space, an NGO.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
