I gave a talk about small objects in the solar system to a 2nd grade class today.
I got asked "how fast can an asteroid go?"
I had already answered that question for @spacepod.bsky.social : www.listentospacepod.com/episodes/202...
And it was also a good time to mention 3I/ATLAS.

Spacepod is back!
It's been a rough time for American science. I took a break and did some thinking, and reinvented the show around something that brings people joy and reminds us why we do the work we do - questions from kids!
The questions are from kids, but the answers are for everyone!
