Event Navigation
“Inner Space to Outer Space: Great Lakes’ Contribution to Space Exploration & Research” will be presented by State of Michigan Maritime Archaeologist Wayne Lusardi. Mr. Lusardi will highlight an assortment of objects, both human-made and natural, that have fallen from space into the Great Lakes.
The Great Lakes have served as a training ground throughout the history of aviation. Nineteenth-century balloon ascensions, early military and civilian aircraft development, the quest to break the sound barrier, and rocket launches all occurred on the lakes.
Join us to hear some of the stories of how the inland seas relate to outer space!
