July Monthly Meeting

Date: Wed. 8th July, 8pm 

Venue: National Herbarium, Birdwood Ave., Melbourne 

Guest Speaker: Dr Steve Roberts (ASV) 

Topic: Proof That We Went To The Moon - This month marks the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon-landing. There have been historians that have referred to this accomplishment as mankind's greatest achievement. However, instead of celebrating this mind-boggling tour de force of science and technology, there are some that wish to discredit it by implying that it was a feat too difficult to perform and so NASA faked it! In support of the former, Steve Roberts will go through the evidence that proves that indeed we did go to the Moon, and puts the conspiracy arguments to bed once and for all. It promises to be a fascinating non technical talk that will entertain as well as inform. All are welcome, there is no cost and supper is provided. Looking forward to seeing you there. 

Special Reminder: The ASV Library is now open following the meeting, as well as the usual opening prior to the meeting.
