Dr. Freeman Dyson will present “How We Might Have Gone to Mars in 1965” at New York City’s Guggenheim Museum. His talk will be an extrapolation from his work on Project Orion, which was an engineering design concept for a nuclear-pulse powered spacecraft. He worked in the project at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) from 1958 into the 1960s. He’ll illustrate the talk with original photographs of the people, experiments, and documents from those days.
Still a member of the IAS, Dyson contributed to the unification of three versions of quantum electro-dynamics.
Admission to the presentation is $24. There are two opportunities to see it: 7:30PM on both 4 March and 5 March, at the Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue (at 89th Street) in New York City. For more information, call the museum at 212-423-3500.
