 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.

Lu says, "The crew member in the minority is always going to have to deal with this - it will be harder on this person than the others."

Lu describes the technique as "sort of like the way a rock climber might move who is putting up ropes at various places." It is slower than the 'sliding wire' method, requiring the spacewalkers to take their tools and equipment with them, like "pack mules."
Ed Lu says that building the Space Station is "an unbelievably important step" on the road to going "further in space than we're doing right now," because it will allow ongoing testing and development of the technology needed to achieve this goal.
