About the Event
Fifty years ago, ‘we chose to go to the moon’. Project Apollo was the culmination of some 400,000 people working to meet John F Kennedy’s impossible deadline, with technology that didn’t yet exist, to explore a place that we knew nothing about. It has become one of human history’s defining moments.
Join TV science presenter and author Dallas Campbell for a grand tour of the science and history of human space flight. From forgotten stories of the early space race, to those first footsteps on the moon, to our future on Mars and beyond.
This is an interactive online, ‘show-and-tell’, featuring beautiful images from Dallas’ critically acclaimed space history book, Ad Astra: An Illustrated Guide to Leaving the Planet, stunning archive footage, and clips from his TV science programmes (including his behind-the-scenes footage from Tim Peake’s launch). Dallas also has a perfect replica of Neil Armstrong’s A7-L spacesuit.
