Space Launcheon Series (SLS) hosted by The Astronauts Memorial Foundation and National Space Society is a monthly luncheon and your connection to space! Join us at Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex in The Center for Space Education's Conference Center for this unique experience to stay in the know about space by hearing from inspiring keynote speakers, pioneers and legends in space history, and former astronauts.
In January, prepare to be captivated by Dr. Tom Jones' engaging storytelling! In his presentation, he will share orbital experiences from his book, Space Shuttle Stories, where he interviewed astronauts from all 135 Space Shuttle missions. During his own career, Tom led three spacewalks to install the centerpiece US Lab at the International Space Station. Overall, he flew on four Space Shuttle missions to Earth orbit and spent fifty-three days working and living in space.
Don't miss the chance to be part of this experience!
Tom Jones' 2023 book (listed below) will be available for on-site purchase and signing following the Q&A Session. Special thanks to Kennedy Space Center Gift Shop for advance coordination of autographed books.
