This event has finished
Description
How far have our notions of space and what it means to humanity come in the last 70 years? Maggie Aderin-Pocock explores the history of space exploration by taking us through the three eras of space: firstly, confrontation borne out of the Second World War; next, collaboration between nations across the world, united to establish a permanent habitat; and, lastly, commercialisation. Is this the key to getting us all out there?
Talk starts at 19:00
Mince pies and drinks available from 18:15
