Description

The Apollo 11 Moon landing on July 20, 1969, marketed a watershed moment in human history for science, engineering, and culture - in the United States and around the globe. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of that landmark event, the Hofstra Cultural Center, in partnership with the Cradle of Aviation Museum, presents an interdisciplinary conference, featuring speakers on both the scientific and technological dimensions of the landing on the moon and its cultural and political repercussions, both on Long Island and around the world. #HofApollo11
