Julian Dorey DailyScientist are PANICKING Over the 3I/ATLAS | David KippingFULL EPISODE: https://youtu.be/3Rb08Io8MpM
This clip breaks down why scientists are suddenly freaking out about 3I/ATLAS — a new interstellar object that’s moving way too fast, looks nothing like what we expected, and is raising huge questions about how our solar system even formed.
Dr. David Kipping explains why 3I/ATLAS might be one of the strangest discoveries in modern astronomy.

John Michael Godier's Event HorizonHow To Reach The Stars (and Shield Mars) with David KippingDr. David Kipping joins John Michael Godier to unpack T.A.R.S., a solar-powered, spin-driven sail that leverages radiometer-like physics and a spinning dipole to accelerate lightweight probes and generate magnetic fields. They also explore relay networks for deep-space communications, science in the interstellar medium, and a bold Jupiter “atmospheric lens” concept to boost signals—plus implications for Mars shielding, mission cost–benefit, and the search for technosignatures.Links: A New Interstellar Propulsion Method: T.A.R.S.https://youtu.be/MDM1COWJ2Hc?si=Kw5SYtvEA441nMKaTorqued Accelerator using Radiation from the Sun (TARS) for Interstellar Payloadshttps://arxiv.or...
