I am very excited that NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has taken me on as a Solar System Ambassador. I will be available for talks about NASA missions, solar system events, along with fun events for catching special events in the night sky in the Evansville, Indiana area.
Current 2024-2025 talks include:
– Space Junk and it’s concerns
– Artemis Mission to the Moon
– Living in Space (with videos by Astronaut Chris Hadfield)
– Psyche Mission (Mission to a Metal World)
– 2024 Eclipse Overview & Safety
– 3D Space (Slideshow of Moon/ISS photos/videos w/ Blue/Red 3D Glasses)
– Viewing spacecraft from your backyard
Need a specific topic on the space program? Just let me know and we can most likely make that happen.
For Museum, Schools or other groups that would like to setup a event, please contact me at garybarr@digicom.com
For News Media, please contact me through the NASA Website.
