Mission Space - living and working in space @ Sunday 6 July, 2.00pm

Jeanette Rothapfel, founder of the NSW School of Space Science, works
with NASA scientists and astronauts and has the honour of being invited
by Dr Andrew Thomas to all his space shuttle launches. Her visual
presentation describes the astronaut crew's preparation and
participation in a space shuttle mission featuring the dangers of the
launch, the hazards, pleasures and excitement of life in space, the
perilous orbiter re-entry and images of famous places from space.
Jeanette is the only private individual in the world to be entrusted
with a long-term loan of NASA's priceless moon rock samples. These six
small but genuine artefacts of Apollo 15, 16 and 17 moon landings and
national treasure of the USA will be available for observation during
her talk.

Held at the Powerhouse Museum on Sunday 6 July
(free with museum admission, no bookings required).
