About this event

Join us for the July 2024 meetup of the Space Association of Australia – all welcome!

Date: Monday, 22 July 2024
Time: 6:30 - 9:00 pm AEST
Venue: Bentleigh RSL, 538 Centre Road, Bentleigh, VIC

Note: Andrew Rennie has collated his collection of space “Oral Histories” and is prepared to share them. In addition to Apollo and earlier-era astronauts, the 87 video recordings also feature NASA flight controllers and engineers.

*** Anyone interested will need to bring a USB stick or USB portable hard drive with at least 30 GB free to our next meeting ***

Andrew has collected the MP4 files into a folder on his laptop and proposes to copy the folder onto your storage device during the meeting. This would have to be on an “all-or-nothing” basis, as he won't have time to copy selected files to suit individual interests.

Please RSVP for the night by booking a free ticket below:
