Only 24 humans have ever gone to the Moon. Only twelve of those
have walked on the surface of our nearest neighbour. One brought some tartan
along for the ride. Journey with a space-race geek who never got to see a
Saturn V fly and still won’t forgive himself for missing a Space Shuttle
launch. How did we do it? Why did we do it? What the heck does “SCE to AUX”
mean?.

About the Speaker:

the Royal Observatory Edinburgh. He currently splits his time between

Participants are under no obligation whatsoever to donate, however please rest assured that the money we collect doesn’t end up in anyone’s pocket – it is used to fund our overhead costs, and travel/accommodation for our speakers who come from further afield.
