To celebrate the region’s contributions to aviation and aerospace and equip a
new generation with the dreams and skills needed for the future, AirSpace
Minnesota has invited three extraordinary people to the Twin Cities:

· Dr. Buzz Aldrin (first moon landing) – NASA astronaut, USAF pilot,
author & exploration advocate

· Dr. Harrison “Jack” Schmitt (last moon landing) – NASA astronaut,
geologist, U.S. Senator, professor & author

· Dr. Karen Nyberg (recently returned from the International Space

These iconic role models will illuminate the legacy and rally us to help a new
generation go boldly.
