Starmus

A series of talks, articles, and recollections on the history of space exploration have been assembled to celebrate the human exploration of space. The Starmus meeting in 2011 on Tenerife hosted the legendary Russian and American pioneers of the space age, who shared the moments that electrified the human race. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Bill Anders, Yuri Baturin, Charlie Duke, Victor Gorbatko, Alexei Leonov, Jim Lovell, Claude Nicollier, and Sergei Zhukov tell their personal stories of the first space walk, the lunar landing, the heroic recovery of Apollo 13, the repair of the Hubble Space Telescope, and much more. Our discovery of the Universe, our place within it and the meaning of life on Earth were also celebrated at Starmus through presentations from some of the world's leading scientists and thinkers.
