Small Step, Giant Leap: Celebrating Apollo at 40
When: 20 July 2009 to 10 September 2009
Info: In July 1969, the world watched in wonder during the Apollo 11 mission as Neil Armstrong took “one small step”, becoming the first human being to set foot on the Moon. This historic spaceflight represented a “giant leap for Mankind”: the first time that human beings had explored another world in person. The Apollo 11 lunar landing was one of the most significant scientific and technological events of the Twentieth Century, and the program that made it possible inspired the best and brightest students to seek out careers in the exciting fields of space exploration, astronomy and aeronautical engineering.
In July 2009, the University of Sydney’s School of Physics and the Science Foundation for Physics will present an exhibition commemorating the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11’s historic lunar landing.
Combining contemporary artefacts and memorabilia, this display will present the history of the Apollo Project and explore the relationship between the US space program and the University of Sydney’s School of Physics.
Exhibition sponsored by the US Studies Centre and the NSW Office for Science and Medical Research.
