Next year is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Moon landing. Several governments and companies have announced plans to return to the Moon and ideas for lunar bases housing hundreds of people are being developed. These activities may start in only a few years!
Join Eric Dahlstrom for a look at what we’ve learned about the Moon since Apollo, and find out what you might experience on a visit to the Moon!
Eric is a space engineer, astronomer, and consultant who has worked on spacecraft design and space science for 35 years, both for NASA and the commercial space industry. He studied physics, astronomy, and space systems engineering and is currently the chair of Space Science at International Space University, having taught in ten countries.
If the sky is clear, we’ll go outside after the talk and look through telescopes provided by the Wellington Astronomical Society.
