POSTPONED – My next talk about the International Space Station (6th April 2020)
During this one hour talk I will introduce you to the greatest technological achievement of the entire human race – the International Space Station (ISS). We did not only go to space, but we learned how to live and survive up there too.
The Space Station does a full orbit around Earth every 92 minutes, travels at a speed of 27.800 kph (17.100 mph), orbits our planet 15.5 times a day and most of the world’s population can observe it. On a clear evening there is nothing more mesmerising experience than to lay back and watch the ISS flying over London, a quiet but extremely bright “star” – knowing that there are dedicated people up there doing cutting edge scientific researches for the benefit of all humankind.
