Description

Join us for an extraordinary evening as two giants of space exploration come together to chart humanity’s return to the lunar surface.

Gerald D. Griffin, the legendary NASA Flight Director who guided Apollo 12, 15, and 17 to the Moon and helped bring the Apollo 13 crew safely home, will be in conversation with Professor Kevin Fong OBE—consultant anaesthetist, extreme environment medicine and space expert, and acclaimed BBC broadcaster.

Together, they’ll bridge five decades of human spaceflight, from Griffin’s firsthand accounts of Mission Control during the Apollo era to the cutting-edge challenges of NASA’s Artemis programme, which aims to land on the Moon by 2027.

Discover what it takes to survive in the Moon’s frozen south polar region, how medical science has evolved for deep space travel, and why the lessons learned from Apollo’s triumphs and near-disasters remain vital as we prepare for humanity’s next giant leap—and eventually, the journey to Mars.

Don’t miss this rare chance to hear riveting stories from the Mission Control room that saved Apollo 13, gain insider perspectives on the medical frontiers of deep space exploration, and understand why humanity’s greatest adventure is only just beginning.
