Tonight’s Talk

Apollo Moon Landings: The Lost Missions

Speaker: Chris Benton (from Auckland Astronomical Society)

In July 1969, Apollo 11 quite rightly attracted a lot of media attention and will forever be in the history books. However, five successful landings followed from November 1969 to December 1972, which history has all but forgotten. Chris Benton reviews all six missions, illustrating how each one was more technologically and scientifically advanced than the previous. Come along and learn what these pioneering missions achieved!
