In this talk we look at the lead up to the famous moon landings of 1969 and everything that has happened in space flight since.

From the early days of spaceflight with the Mercury and Gemini missions through to Apollo and the now legendary moon landings. We also look at what came after - Skylab, ASTP and eventually through to the shiuttle era and the International Space Station.

A talk to cover the space memorabilia from the private collection of archaeologist and science professional Charles Simpson.

The collection represents an era of space travel spanning 30 years and encompassed items from the Mercury, Apollo, Skylab, ASTP and Shuttle programmes.
