Human Spaceflight: An Evolving Process - Livestream

From very early times, individuals and cultures dreamt first of human flight, and then space flight, which ultimately contributed to the Apollo 11 Moon landing. The Apollo landings, in turn, were inspirational for many, including some who ended up becoming astronauts. Human spaceflight further evolved during the Space Shuttle, Mir, and ISS programs. More recently, the development of commercial spacecraft led to the rise of Commercial Astronauts, Research Astronauts, and Scientist Astronauts. Human spaceflight has evolved, and is currently evolving, in ways that will expand human presence in space and afford scientific, research, engineering, and commercial opportunities.

Join our special guest, Commercial Astronaut Richard Blakeman, as he takes us through a journey from human’s early flight aspirations, through the more "raditional" routes to space, (such as the typical NASA astronaut selection process,) and finally to the latest developments in the area of human spaceflight.
