Fly me to the Moon: Apollo and Artemis

Speaker: Jeremy Turner, MInstP, Associate Professor, Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham

Going into space is now not unusual - but it is over 50 years since humans last went to the moon. This lecture will tell the story of how scientists and engineers landed people on the Moon in the 1960’s and the challenges for the Artemis programme, which hopes to land people on the moon before the end of this decade.

Jez aims to make this a lively and interactive talk with a few surprises.  He will be bringing along two UK built rocket engines from the 50s and 60s to look at and touch as well as a few other space related displays (including his collection of meteorites).

Tickets for this event go on sale on Monday 8th September.
