The Next Space Age
Not ALL of us are old enough to have watched the Space Age dawn as Sputnik crossed the night sky, but all of us have benefitted from the insight and services that have followed. We have learned about microgravity, been to the moon, we have a space station, and we are able to monitor and study how space travel affects us with Scott and Mark Kelly. What do we have to look forward to in the future? Dr. Simpson will give us a glimpse of how a new space age is evolving that can bring even greater benefits …IF we care enough to do it right.
