October 4th 1957 marked the beginning of the Space Age, with the launch of Sputnik 1, followed, less than 4 years later, on April 12th 1961, with the launch of Yuri Gagarin, followed later by the USA moon landing in July 1969.
In this lecture Jerry presents his view of the next 50 years in Space - what the future may hold.

His book, “One Small Step” is presented as the scrapbook of a young space enthusiast whose grandfather worked in Mission Control at the time of Apollo 11.
