Public Lecture and Book Signing in Dublin

By Dan Parry, author of Moonshot: The Inside Story of Mankind's Greatest Adventure

Thursday 23 July 2009, 7:15pm



To commemorate the 40th lunar landing anniversary, former BBC journalist Dan Parry will come to Dublin to speak about this compelling story which is one of the defining moments in human history and launch his new book 'Moonshot'.

Former BBC Journalist and Head of Research at one of the World's largest production companies, Dan Parry has had rare access to some of the leading names on the Apollo 11 mission. Namely, meetings with Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and many of the 12 strong team who were involved in this world changing event. The lecture will portray some of the amazing stories behind the mission and Dan will give us an insight into his new publication 'Moonshot'. Book signing will begin before the lecture on the night.
