Free Public Talk On The Future In Space | Los Altos

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Dr. Chris Impey of the University of Arizona will give a free, illustrated, non-technical talk on: Beyond: Our Future in Space.

The space age is half a century old. Its early successes were driven by a fierce super-power rivalry between the Soviet Union and the United States, obscuring the fact that exploration and risk-taking is built into human DNA. Decades after we last set foot on the Moon, and several years after the Space Shuttle was retired, space activity is finally leaving the doldrums.

The talk will review the history and landmarks of the international space program, give a snapshot of the current situation, and plot the trajectory of the future of space travel.
