Why were the last three Apollo missions cancelled? How much of John F. Kennedy’s space program dream really came true? What are the true costs of space exploration? Doug Fowler--former Youngstown State University adjunct instructor in both the Department of Geology and the Department of Physics and Astronomy--sheds new light on the Apollo program, discussing moon rocks, lunar geology, and the science accomplished by these missions. Plus, he will discuss the historical context of the time--the end of World War II, the start of the Cold War, and the subsequent rise in new social and political awareness. Registration is required.
