[Mitworld] New: Harrison Schmitt and EECS on Human-Machine Relationships

[MIT.WORLD]

Hello Friends of MIT World
http://mitworld.mit.edu


With two new lectures from MIT World we present a look at the past 
and a glimpse into the future.


The Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics presents the
2003 Gardner Lecture

Dr. Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt

"Trip to the Moon and the Legacy of Apollo"


In this first lecture from "Aero/Astro" on MIT World, Apollo 
astronaut Harrison Schmitt gives a first person account of what it 
was like to walk on the moon and discusses moon rocks from a 
geologist's point of view.  Early in the presentation he shows a 
"must-see" film summarizing the mission and provides live narration 
of his famous walk and rock gathering efforts, all with thirty years' 
worth of perspective.
