Join Interstellar Seminar from 2:30 to 3:20 p.m. Wednesday, March 27 104 Jabara Hall or online as Grant Anderson, founder and leader of Paragon Space Development Corporation, talks about living in space.

Long-duration crewed missions require closed-loop life support systems to provide breathable air and palatable nutritious food. Everything must be closely recycled since there may be no chance of resupply for decades. Spacecraft architecture must be comfortable and protected from the harsh space environment.

A visionary engineer and entrepreneur, Anderson has worked on crewed missions from the Shuttle program to the International Space Station and is now developing the Gateway station that will orbit the Moon.

Sponsored by the College of Applied Studies, join the panel discussion, “Advocating for Youth in our Community” from 1 to 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 27 via Zoom with panelists Dr. Sharieka Fisher of Rise Up for Youth, Dr. Kim Wilson of Prime Fit, Mario Barnes of Heroes Academy and Dr. Prisca Barnes of Storytime Village.
