The Man on the Moon

Saturday, November 13, 2021 at 1:00 PM until 2:00 PMGTB Standard Time UTC +02:00

The moon has always produced a special fascination on human beings. Over the millennia the earth’s satellite attracted and inspired poets, painters, scientists, musicians or just ordinary people. In my lecture I would like to illustrate a time in the last century when the moon became the object of a race between the then two rivaling superpowers, United States and Soviet Union.  A time, the 60’s, when the space became a new theater of the Cold war, when to put a man on the moon became an imperative for US and SU,  and it meant to show to the “enemy” and to the entire world not only a technological supremacy but also an ideological superiority of one system over the other.
