students and community invited to panel discussion on space travel
Astronauts from the landmark Gemini and Apollo NASA programs
will touch down at Crystals at
CityCenter Friday, Oct. 21 for the Speedmaster Forum Series hosted by OMEGA
WATCHES U.S. and Crystals’
Tourbillon boutique.
The astronauts will share personal accounts of their space
explorations and discuss how Tourbillon’s OMEGA Speedmaster watch, the official
timepiece of NASA, is used during missions to time the space shuttle’s descent
back into the Earth’s atmosphere.
Fifty students from Rancho
High School’s pilot training and
aerospace engineering magnet program and 50 students from Bridger
Middle School’s aerospace and
aviation magnet program will have front-row “cockpit” seats for the discussion.
Prior to the event, students will have a chance to meet the
astronauts, receive autographed images and view an out-of-this-world exhibit
showcasing the NASA Lunar Rover used during all six lunar expeditions; an
Apollo 10 spacesuit; the Mars Rover; and the OMEGA Speedmaster, the first and
only timepiece to travel to the moon.
The community is invited to attend the event to celebrate
the accomplishments of these American heroes and learn about their
contributions to the nation’s most iconic space missions.
