Everyone knows where they watched the first moon landing in 1969. This was one of the great feats of exploration, programme management, scientific development and, most of all, tremendous guts and focus under pressure, of the last 100 years. Our speaker will also highlight some of the fascinating and amusing connections from this exploration programme which include men’s fashion, women’s empowerment, basketball, Elvis, lawlessness, government budgeting and the importance to NASA of felt tip pens and duct tape!
