Join us for a virtual talk in celebration of the International Observe the Moon Night!
Dr. Jack Burns, Professor in the Department of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder and Director and Principal Investigator of the Network for Exploration and Space Science will spend the evening us. His talk will focus on the future of human and robotic exploration of the Moon and beyond. Since the end of the Apollo program, the justification for the human space program has proven elusive. We will borrow a page from the Silicon Valley computer and commercial space companies to argue for an inspirational approach using new tools and technologies for the next phase of exploration.
We would like to acknowledge:
University of Colorado Boulder, APS Department
SkySkan Inc. and their amazing software DigitalSky2 that made this possible.
