  • 020 | Everything You Want to Know About Space, But Didn’t Know Who to Ask  | In-Person
  • Fee: $19.00
    Day of Week: Th
    Dates: Sep. 18

    Sessions: 1
    Building: Mirabella
    Room: Lifelong Learning Auditorium
    Instructor: Dr. Peter Swan

    The essence of humanity—looking up and wondering—is universal. What’s up there? Can we go there? How does it all work? What makes satellites unique? What are orbits? How do I become an astronaut (even at our age)? This course will explore many of these questions in a non-math, non-engineering way, designed to explain our fascination and wonder about space. We are living through a remarkable shift—both government and commercial—toward space exploration. How does this affect you? Could your grandchildren be involved? Might they even go out there? This course will explain it all at a top-level view: orbits, the vacuum of space, and other complexities—all explained through engaging conversations. Please note that parking is the responsibility of the member.
