Scientists with the US Geological Survey throughout the Apollo missions, Drs. Ivo and Baerbel Lucchitta, offer a personal account of the historical role of the Flagstaff’s Astrogeology Center (USGS) in the exploration of the moon.
The 2018 SCI Talks are now online! Visit our YouTube page to watch videos from the past four years of SCI Talks. This past year featured Rob Kellar presenting on regenerative medicine, TJ Janecek sharing his story of building a technology company in Flagstaff, Billy Cordasco exploring the intersection of art and scientific study at Babbitt Ranches and Emma Wharton recounting the building of grit in teenagers on the Colorado River with Grand Canyon Youth. All talks are approximately 20 minutes or less and given by local Flagstaff scientists, engineers, educators and artists.
Do you have a personal story to share about the lunar missions and Northern Arizona? We would love to add your voice to our oral history of Flagstaff’s unique relationship with the early space pioneers.
