Retrospectives of Space Research - How Humanity Became a Space-faring
Species
------------------------------

*Retrospectives of Space Research - How Humanity Became a Space-faring
Species - Prof. Scott L. H. Madry*
------------------------------

In Jan 2019 monthly session,* IEEE R&A honors Prof. Scott Madry from UNC *and
shares Scott's retrospectives of Space Research to our local community.  *This
event is open for all those passionate in technology - from school students
to seniors.*

Propulsion of technologies has strong connections with human cause,
motivation and behavior.  Humans have achieved amazing things in aviation
and, later, human spaceflight, and we are poised on the edge of a new
revolution in commercial and tourism spaceflight. But how did we become a
species that can fly and go into space?

This lecture will present an historical view into the cultural history of
human spaceflight that winds around the world over a thousand years. From
the ancient myth of Icarus to the invention of gun powder in China, we will
trace the evolution of rockets and science from the ancient astronomers and
Arab scientists, to the European renaissance to the cold war space race,
from Werner Von Braun to Elon Musk. It is a fascinating and interwoven tale
of discovery and destruction, that leads right to your doorway with our
modern telecommunications and GPS satellites.

How did we get the ability to put humans into space? Will you get to go?
Come and learn how we got here, and where we will go next.
