Event Details
The Apollo space program was an outstanding 20th Century achievement, but many of its difficulties and successes have faded into obscurity. Dr. Dean Eppler, a retired NASA scientist with over 35 years in human spaceflight, possesses the breadth of experience to bring the mission into focus. His background includes Apollo program history, advanced space suit engineering, International Space Station development, and selecting and training astronauts (1990, 1996, 1998). Dr. Eppler will identify the key accomplishments of the mission and discuss Apollo’s enduring contributions to human spaceflight.
The Summit Area Old Guard is a social, educational, and recreational fellowship of active men of retirement age, founded in 1930. We hear presentations most Tuesday mornings in an auditorium in New Providence, and we have many other activities including discussion groups, sports groups, and celebrations. Our dues are minimal, and members volunteer for all aspects of the operation. Our motto is "Come for the programs. Stay for the friends." Guests are always welcome to attend and to learn about our organization.
