Smithsonian Space Talk

Blast off into space history with a Smithsonian expert April 14 at Irving Arts Center.

What happens to the story of space exploration after the rockets launch and the astronauts return home? Who preserves the memories, the artifacts, and the human stories that define one of humanity’s greatest adventures?

Join us at the April 14th Making History Making Change event in Irving, TX, for an inspiring evening with space historian Dr. Margaret A. Weitekamp, chair of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum’s Department of Space History and the curator of the Museum’s social and cultural history of spaceflight collection, as she explores how the Smithsonian preserves the cultural memory of spaceflight.
