August 1: Greg McCauley
By Rotary Club of Indianapolis on July 27, 2023
Join us Tuesday to hear from Greg McCauley the President, CEO, and Founder of Grand Universe. In the early 1970’s, Greg worked for NASA at the Manned Spacecraft Center (now Johnson Space Center) in Houston, Texas. He worked in Mission Planning and Analysis for the lunar missions of Apollo 15, 16 and 17 in engineering support for Mission Control where he held a NASA top secret clearance. In addition to his duties at Grand Universe, Greg is an award-winning professional science communicator, a member of the NASA Museum and Informal Education Alliance and lectures throughout the Midwest on NASA Missions, Astronomy and Space Exploration. Greg will speak about and share photos from the James Webb Space Telescope which has been rewriting cosmic history. It has been designed to answer many of the core questions that have mystified the human species over the past half-century. With a $10 billion price tag, it is one of the most ambitious engineering initiatives ever attempted. The Webb telescope has already discovered dark-matter galaxies that shouldn’t exist, run-away black holes and an abundance of water throughout the cosmos. What’s next? Join us next week and discover for yourself. All are welcome at Rotary programs. If attending in-person at the Murat Shrine reservations and prepayment are appreciated, but not required.
