This event is open for all those passionate in technology - fr om school students to seniors.\n\nPropulsion of technologies has strong co nnections with human cause\, motivation and behavior. Humans have achieved amazing things in aviation and\, later\, human spaceflight\, and we are p oised on the edge of a new revolution in commercial and tourism spacefligh t. But how did we become a species that can fly and go into space?\n\nThis lecture will present an historical view into the cultural history of huma n spaceflight that winds around the world over a thousand years. From the ancient myth of Icarus to the invention of gun powder in China\, we will t race the evolution of rockets and science from the ancient astronomers and Arab scientists\, to the European renaissance to the cold war space race\ , from Werner Von Braun to Elon Musk. It is a fascinating and interwoven t ale of discovery and destruction\, that leads right to your doorway with o ur modern telecommunications and GPS satellites.\n\nHow did we get the abi lity to put humans into space? Will you get to go? Come and learn how we g ot here\, and where we will go next.\n\nSpeaker Information:\n\nProfessor Scott Madry is a research associate professor of archaeology at the Univer sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, and was on the faculty of the Inte rnational Space University of Strasbourg\, France for over 23 years.
