Level 1, Campari House, 23 Hardware Lane, Melbourne
The City Bible Forum’s Bigger Questions series is reaching for the stars—and ISCAST is going along!
The June 2019 session tackles the Bigger Question of Why do we explore space? Reflecting on 50 years since the moon landing and features ISCAST fellow and board member Dr Jonathan Clarke (with others).
The Bigger Questions website has this to say about the event:
For thousands of years, humanity has been shaped by the vast cosmos above. Neil Armstrong’s “Giant leap for mankind” realised the imagination of ancient mariners, mathematicians, priests and even farmers. Why is space the stuff dreams are made of? What have we learned about ourselves and our place in the universe since 1969? Where to next?
Join our guests as we take you on a journey of imagination, reality, and 300 million kilometres.
Ask some bigger questions at this after-work event that is out of this world!
