| Event Name: | Apollo 7 – The First Flight |
| Event Description: | We are approaching the 50th anniversary of the most incredible achievement – landing the first men on the Moon. Of course Apollo 11 wasn’t the only flight, so Jerry Stone will be giving a presentation about every Apollo mission on its own 50th anniversary, going right through to December 2022, the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 17. The series starts with the story of the first flight – Apollo 7. Join Wally, Walt and Donn, with their problems and their triumphs on this “shakedown cruise” of the re-designed Apollo spacecraft, as they aim to put America back on course to the Moon. Jerry Stone is a Freelance Space Presenter and is well known as a space expert – especially on Apollo. He has given talks about space since 1969 and now runs Spaceflight UK (www.spaceflight-uk.com), presenting space activities all over the country. He is often interviewed on radio and TV, and he is the author of “One Small Step”, commemorating the Moon landings. Copies will be available (£15) which he will be happy to sign. If you are a BIS Member or Fellow, you can make your free booking on the BIS website. If you are not a Member or Fellow of the BIS, you can book for £10.00 via the Online Booking Form. The event starts at 7pm and places are limited. |
