10:00 am to 2:00 pm
Space journalist and author, Andrew Chaikin is coming to the San Diego Air & Space Museum. In addition to his two presentations, Exploring the Moon and Moonwalk Memories, he will also be signing his book A Man on the Moon.
His first presentation, Exploring the Moon, (10:30-11:30 am) will take educators on a tour of the moon answering questions such as: What formed the craters of the moon? Why does the moon always keep one face pointed toward the Earth, and why does the side we see look so different from the far side? Where did the Apollo astronauts visit, and what did they find? This event is for educators only and requires an RSVP. To RSVP for the event, click here.
During his second presentation, Moonwalk Memories, (1:00-2:00pm) he will share anecdotes he collected from conversations with moon-voyagers during his book research. He will also look ahead to NASA’s upcoming LCROSS lunar-impact mission, which will try to discover whether deposits of ancient ice await future lunar explorers. Moonwalk Memories is free with paid admission.
