Program Notes
In 2018, Australia launched the Australian Space Agency and became the last OECD country in the world to have a designated public service office dedicated to space industry and engagement. While playing a major role in televising the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing around the world, Australia has only ever had 3 astronauts - and each needed to become US citizens to be able to go into space with NASA. The passion and excitement of having our own space agency and the dream of young Australians to become an astronaut in our own program can now be a reality as we begin the journey towards space, our last frontier of exploration.
