NASA: Innovation, Exploration & National Pride

A behind-the-scenes look at NASA, from Cold War rivalries that sparked a space race to future international partnerships. Fifty years ago when NASA was created, space was a far-off place–the stuff of science fiction. The first class will celebrate the heady days of Mercury and Apollo through today’s space shuttle and space station programs. The second class will examine space program scientific breakthroughs that have become pervasive in our lives. Finally, we will look forward to NASA’s new Constellation Program and America’s plans to establish a human outpost on the moon.

Date: Mondays, Oct. 5, 12 & 19
Times: 2–4 p.m.
Location: Aberdeen Village
17500 West 119th St.
Olathe, Kan.
