Nicholas de Monchaux at Exploratorium After Dark, Discussing Space Suits

Has the buzz about the recent meteor showers and the August 21st solar eclipse had you looking up at the sky more?

Every Thursday night, the Exploratorium hosts their "After Dark" series, showcasing presentations, activities, and installations.

On Thursday, August 3rd, BCNM's own Nicholas de Monchaux sat down with the industrial designer and special effects fabricator, Adam Savage. Together, Savage and Nicholas, author of Spacesuit: Fashioning Apollo, discussed the future of human space travel and the history of spacesuit design.

Earlier, we've covered Prof. de Monchaux's commentary in a Newsweek article on spacesuits.

The "After Dark" program included planetary viewing, films, and answers to all manner of cosmic questions. Learn more about the Exploratorium's special line-up here.
