Guest Speaker: Charlie Blackwell-Thompson
In addition, attendees will enjoy an exclusive keynote address at 9pm and again at 10pm from Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, veteran spaceflight engineer and first female launch director at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. She will provide an overview of the launch planning as NASA prepares to venture beyond low earth orbit extending human presence deeper into space, including missions to Mars. Ms. Blackwell-Thompson also shares her personal journey to becoming the Exploration Mission 1 (EM-1) Launch Director and discusses the planning for the launch of the powerful Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft planned for 2018.
ArcAttack
Also, rock out with ArcAttack as they return to Orlando Science Center for a “shocking” live show during Science Night Live. ArcAttack will grace the stage with guitars, drums and singing Tesla coils. Watch this band deliver an electrifying performance as sparks emanate from the coils in conjunction with the music. Audience members participate in the show by climbing into a Faraday Cage as giant sparks surround them as they safely bust a move. As if that wasn’t enough to get you “charged up,” see sparks tangle with a chain mail-wearing guitarist and drums played by a robot! ArcAttack has appeared on “America’s Got Talent,” and at SXSW in Austin.
