Moon 50 at UCL Your Universe 2019
Why do we need to go to the Moon again? Is it for science? Is it for commercial purposes? Or just settling? Shall we go as nations, private 
corporations or humanity as a whole?
 

From 18:00, in the Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre, an expert panel presentation and audience discussion will celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the most significant achievements of humankind and to explore the different paths that the Apollo legacy may follow in the near future.
