When Soviet cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, orbited around the globe in April 1961, he became humanity’s first space explorer. Since then, more than 550 people have travelled into the deep black abyss. What does it take for someone to willingly propel themselves beyond Earth’s atmosphere? How does it feel to be in space and can it change a life forever?

Join Australia’s first astronaut Andy Thomas as he shares his fascinating journey into the great unknown.

This event includes entry into Queensland Museum’s new exhibition NASA – A Human Adventure.
