This presentation looks at a different side of spaceflight - the funny side! This is not a straight-forward history of space exploration, but a slightly twisted one, in which Jerry Stone draws on his many years of following the space programme to present a collection of stories that are not generally known to the public, including . . . |
||||
|
How Wernher von Braun personally set a record for circling the Earth | |||
|
The truth about the Zambian manned lunar landing programme | |||
|
The lunar fork-lift truck | |||
| and, of course . . . | ||||
|
The day they launched a woodpecker! | |||
