Live Event - Rocket Science and Moon Myths

Tomorrow, August 25th, join me at Rocket Science and Moon Myths, a fascinating and entertaining pair of lectures in the Carnegie Reading Room of the Penrose Library in downtown Colorado Springs!

The opening talk of the evening will be yours truly, giving a presentation entitled "Moon Myth Media Mayhem." From the moon's perceived effect on human behavior to the media frenzy over the "Supermoon," my talk will offer a revealing insight into how common misconceptions about the moon say more about us and our logical failings than they do about our natural satellite.

The keynote speaker will be former NASA engineer and mission planner Marlowe Cassetti talking about his experiences in the Apollo program. Mr. Cassetti was a key figure in the space program from Mercury to Skylab, and will give a unique insight into the scientific and technological hurdles that had to be overcome.

After the lectures there will be a Q&A panel. Talks start at 6:30 and admission is free. Be there, AND BE SQUARE!
