Thursday, July 22, 2021 - 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. CDT

The Formation of NASA: What Ike Started
Jim Remar, Cosmosphere

 

As we mark the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Remar will discuss the creation of NASA. Eisenhower's role in NASA and the early days of the Space Race is often overlooked. Learn about the instrumental role that the Eisenhower administration played in creating NASA and getting the U.S. off of the ground in the early stages of the Space Race.

Remar is a recognized expert in the areas of museum administration, strategic planning and space artifact preservation and exhibition. Initially he joined the Cosmosphere as curator in 2000 and currently serves as the President/CEO. Remar has an extensive background in providing consultation expertise to a number of history and space museums as well as organizations.
