Astronaut Cady Coleman takes listeners from meteorite hunting in Antarctica to launching a $1.6 billion telescope into space to the wonder of spending six months living and working in zero gravity. 

This talk will inspire anyone eager to escape a box in which they have been (unfairly) placed or to develop the confidence to succeed, even when they’re not an obvious “fit.” 

Followed by a signing of her new book, Sharing Space.


Presented as part of the Museum's Home Beyond Earth exhibition and as part of Astronaut January. (Details below)
