Back to the Moon

Speaker: Professor Joseph Silk
Johns Hopkins University Baltimore

The Moon offers opportunities beyond our wildest imaginings, and plans to return are rapidly gaining momentum around the world.
NASA’s plan for a habitable orbiting space station to coordinate lunar development and exploration.
European and Chinese lunar villages and the mining of precious resources dwindling here on Earth.
Perhaps producing fuel directly from liquefying oxygen and hydrogen found in abundant lunar ice.
An improved launch site for deeper travels into space.
Lunar telescopes of unprecedented size that are situated in permanently dark polar craters.
Joe will be expanding on these and other possibilities from his applied experience as an astrophysicist.
