Talking Tech - Tom Dworschak - Apollo to Artemis: To the Moon and Back - Again

To help CMoA celebrate it’s 5th anniversary and the reason behind our opening date, we welcome back Tom Dworschak, NASA Solar System Ambassador.

His fast-paced talk begins with the 1957 launch of Sputnik and the ensuing USA-USSR space race, which saw the Mercury and Gemini programs lay the groundwork for the Apollo moon landings (1969-1972). He’ll then jump to the present day to discuss NASA’s current plans to launch Artemis to return astronauts to the moon after a half-century hiatus as well as future plans to land on Mars.

Help us celebrate five exciting years of Computer Museum of America with this highly engaging presentation.

Talking Tech is free for members or with museum admission.
