Cosmosphere to host Andrew Chaikin

The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center, Hutchinson, Kansas, will be hosting the award-winning science journalist and space historian Andrew Chaikin June 19 and 20 who will be presenting to the public on the history of Apollo and future space exploration. Chaikin has authored books and articles about space exploration and astronomy for more than 25 years. Writer-director and explorer James Cameron (Titanic, Aliens of the Deep) called him "our best historian of the space age."

 

Chaikin is best known as the author of A Man on the Moon: The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts, widely regarded as the definitive account of the moon missions. First published in 1994, this acclaimed work was the main basis for Tom Hanks' 12-part HBO miniseries, From the Earth to the Moon, which won the Emmy for best miniseries in 1998.

 

Chaikin will be presenting at the Cosmosphere at 7 pm on June 19 to the public and again at 10 am on June 20 with a different presentation geared towards children.
