| | Ed Lu gives Olin lecture |
 | | Lu recalled witnessing, from his perch in space, flashes caused by grains of dust smashing into the atmosphere 1,000 miles away, making him acutely aware of the power of rocky bodies in the Earth's path. |
 | | Lu, together with other astronauts, scientists and engineers, is urging NASA to use this technology to actually try to move an asteroid before the critical need arises. |
 | | Lu might have seen flashes of distant dust from space, but, ironically, he had a difficult time seeing the Cornell campus, from which he graduated with a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering. |
