How to Get to the Moon & Back: Lessons from NASA's Original Apollo Program

Top Organizer
Overview

Join us for a fascinating talk on the science of getting to the Moon and back.

What are the most daunting points of such a journey?

In its early days, the U.S. space program had little experience with rockets, reentry, or even the lunar surface itself.

The same engineering challenges still confront any Moon-bound mission, and the hard-won lessons of the Apollo program now inform Artemis.

Drawing from firsthand interviews, this talk will uncover lesser-known challenges and the creative solutions that powered humanity's first journey to the Moon.
