50 years after #Apollo moonshots, will rivalry with China spark a new space race? https://t.co/3j4ky2heqI H/T @jeffreykluger @ScienceWriting #sciwri18 #ApolloPlus50 #Apollo50
@FreelanceAstro @SciFleur @betsymason Organizer @b0yle has it on video here https://t.co/iuURGXFYTz #sciwri18 #ApolloPlus50
#Apollo17 moonwalker Harrison Schmitt stirs up a buzz during exchange over climate change (with video!): https://t.co/DD5i2OF29n H/T @SciFleur @danfalk @FreelanceAstro @dangaristo #SciWri18 #ApolloPlus50
#ApolloPlus50 Irony/Iconography: Harrison Schmitt, the astronaut who claims to have taken this quintessential photo of the Earth, a photo that became a symbol of the environmental movement, is a denier of anthropogenic climate change. #SciWri18 got very interesting this morning.
The recording also includes geologist @betsymason who went up to the mic and asked him not to speak for all geologists when denying human influence in climate change.
All the kudos to you. #ApolloPlus50 #SciWri18
This was an incredible moment to experience. I unfortunately didn’t start recording until Schmitt started talking bc I was riveted by what was happening. But here was his response: https://t.co/dfLIgKSJzo #SciWri18 #ApolloPlus50 https://t.co/Ve8dZakPoK
The recording also includes the geologist who got up at the end and asked him not to speak for all geologists when denying human’s influence in climate change.
I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name! But all the kudos to you. #ApolloPlus50 #SciWri18
With geologist Harrison Schmitt of Apollo 17, one of the 12 humans who have walked on the moon.
After a panel session at the National Association of Science Writers meeting in DC.

The fact that the man who took this photo doesn’t believe in anthropogenic climate change—aka global warming—is maddening. #ApolloPlus50 h/t @SciFleur
There's nothing like the tension in a room when former astronaut Harrison Schmitt says there's no evidence #climatechange is caused by humans.... in front of an audience of science journalists
#sciwri18 #ApolloPlus50
The last two questioners beautifully hold Schmitt’s feet to the fire regarding his views on climate change. #ApolloPlus50 #SciWri18
Dr. Schmitt asks if we are sure climate change is man made. Room shouts yes. #ApolloPlus50 #SciWri18
Reporter gets a question in at the end about Schmitt’s past skepticism that humans cause climate change. Schmitt doubles down on that skepticism, to the consternation of some in the audience. #ApolloPlus50
Last questions for #ApolloPlus50 challenge Harrison Schmitt’s denial of climate change. Bravo to @SciFleur
Pace, on human spaceflight safety issues: when an astronaut dies, the world stops. You can argue that should not be the case, but don’t see that changing any time soon. #ApolloPlus50
Q: is it frustrating that American scientists won’t have access to Chinese lunar samples because of ban on cooperation?
Pace: legislation is not a ban, but instead requires approval. In terms of sample return exchanges, nothing has been ruled out. #ApolloPlus50
Question: Buzz Aldrin once called the moon “magnificent desolation”; do you agree?
Schmitt: Buzz was not a geologist. The moon is a fantastic, beautiful place to be. #ApolloPlus50
Neal, asked what her favorite spacecraft are, says the “sweetest rides” would have been the MMU and SpaceShipOne, the latter having a “sports car” aspect to it. #ApolloPlus50
Pace adds that, unlike Apollo, “we’re not in a Cold War environment,” a counter to Schmitt. #ApolloPlus50
Kluger: when will humans set foot on the moon again?
Pace: we’ll have humans in orbit around the moon on the Gateway “before 2024,” so landing some time later. #ApolloPlus50
Pace was asked about the public-relations issues of company faces like Musk and Bezos. Do these stand in the way of our ability to move space exploration forward in the era of privatization? #ApolloPlus50 #sciwri18
