50 years ago the world was focused on a drama taking place in space; a flight to the moon that was in trouble and three astronauts who were struggling to get back home. New Mexico space author Loretta Hall will take you along on that dangerous journey.

Loretta Hall is an award-winning author of "Space Pioneers: In Their Own Words", "Out of this World: New Mexico’s Contributions to Space Travel", "The Complete Space Buff’s Bucket List", and "Miguel & Michelle Visit Spaceport America." Among other writing awards, she was a Silver Winner in the Science category of the IndieFab awards for "Space Pioneers."

There will be a book signing and an opportunity to purchase Ms. Hall’s books. The Museum’s Space Science Hall and Apollo 50th Anniversary Exhibit will be open for lecture attendees. 

Cost: $8 nonmembers, $7 members, $5 students.

Preregistration is encouraged or tickets can be purchased at the door the evening of the event (if seats are available). Photo courtesy of Nasa.
