The Future of Human Space Travel

May 16, 2013 By Ben Sclair

Have you been following the preparations to launch the Delta IV Heavy rocket next week?   It is thought that this rocket, (originally designed by Boeing to meet the needs of the U.S. military) might be able to propel humans into a low orbit of the Earth.

Christopher Hoffman will speak of the future of human space travel from the perspective of an engineer in the field of advanced applied physics. As a young college student, Hoffman traveled to Russia to tour its space facilities.  He went on to earn degrees in Aeronautical Engineering at the University of Washington, and has worked for Boeing for the past 17 years.

This class is offered to the public by Learning Is ForEver on Friday, May 24 from 10:30 to 12:00 at the Garfield Book Company at PLU.   Registration fee of $10.00 may be paid at the door.   Visit our website for a more detailed description www.plu.edu/lifeelderhostel
