Astronomy on Tap

Jason Jamerson and I will be presenting at Astronomy on Tap this Thursday at the Varsity Theater. Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look into the future of aerospace engineering. We will dive into the challenges faced with scanning and replicating Michoud Assembly Facility, with more than 2 million square feet of manufacturing space sitting on 829 acres of land. Michoud is responsible for constructing the Space Launch System (SLS) for Artemis II, the largest rocket stage NASA has ever constructed for missions to the moon and mars.

After us Natalie Hinkel will give a talk entitled "From Stars to Planets to Life". In particular, how to use the composition of stars (abundances) to understand the interior of small planets.
