Beyond the Cosmos: An Evening with a NASA Astronaut

Description

An extraordinary experience at the Royal Geographical Society’s Annual Dinner awaits: Scott Parazynski, a veteran of five Space Shuttle missions and seven spacewalks, will share stories from his remarkable nearly 25-year NASA career. From training as a cosmonaut in Russia to flying over 23 million miles in space, Parazynski’s experiences span the era of moon shots to the International Space Station. 

In his talk, The Sky Below: Space, Speed and Summits, he will also recount what it was like to live and work in zero gravity, and how his adventures in space have influenced his life on Earth – including his passions for mountains, exploration and family.
