Lunch and Learn – The Future of U.S.Manned Spaceflight presented by Bob Aaron, Retired Journalist/ Public Relations Specialist

 

This presentation describes three new manned spacecraft underdevelopment by the United States. Two of them—SpaceX’s Dragon V-2 and Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner (Commercial Space Transportation)—will ferry crews of up to seven astronauts between the Earth and the International Space Station. The third spacecraft—Lockheed Martin’s Orion—is the command module that will take U.S. astronauts to Mars and bring them home, along with other support vehicles and rockets that are under development, by around 2030.

Bring your brown bag lunch to the Museum’s series, featuring engaging and enlightening topics for discussion. Join us the second Thursday of every month from now until May for a new topic to explore and discuss. The programs are held in the Museum’s Governor Fifer Courtroom from 12:10-12:40 p.m. each time. The Spring 2016 series will run January – May. These programs are free and open to the public and sponsored by Illinois Wesleyan University, the McLean County Museum of History, and the Collaborative Solutions Institute.
