Sir Patrick Moore 80th Birthday Tour
Mars: The Next Frontier

Sunday 22nd February, 7.00pm

Sir Patrick Moore, media personality and the UK's leading stargazer,
celebrates his 80th birthday year by returning in a fifth national
tour with an entirely new lecture, Mars: The Next Frontier.

Mars, the Red Planet, has always been regarded as a world which may
support life. We now know that there are no Martians, but the planet
cannot be dismissed as sterile. Various probes are set to land there
Christmas 2003.

Patrick – himself a life-time observer of Mars – tells the latest
knowledge of conditions there, and goes on to discuss manned missions,
permanent bases and eventual colonies. The Lecture is followed by an
open discussion

Grab this chance to hear our leading astronomer outline how there will
be two species of mankind.

I didn't realise until wednesday when my wife told me she had booked
it.

Which was nice!
