BRITISH astronaut Tim Peake will bring the awe and wonder of space travel past, present and future to audiences when his latest tour blasts off across the country.
Astronauts: The Quest To Explore Space sees Tim sharing extraordinary archive footage bringing to life the adventures of astronauts in a celebration of the historic human endeavour of space exploration.
The latest leg of the tour includes a date at The Anvil on Friday, September12.
With fewer than 650 people having reached Earth’s orbit, nobody is more qualified than Tim to celebrate the achievements and human endeavours of space exploration.
In this new production, Tim will share the remarkable stories of some of his fellow astronauts and explore the spectacular evolution of space travel.
From the first forays into space in the 1950s, to the first human missions destined for Mars, Tim will traverse the final frontier.
As he recounts the awe-inspiring endeavours of astronauts across the ages, he will reveal what spaceflight is truly like; from the wondrous view of Earth, living in weightlessness, the dangers and unexpected moments of humour, to the years of training and psychological and physical pressures that an astronaut has to take on.
“It seems like yesterday I was launching to space, and I still hold the very deep honour and excitement of that day very close,” said Tim.
“Being able to tour the country, with a special show like The Quest To Explore Space, where I can share just a small taste of what I experienced as an astronaut, reliving my own journey and sharing stories from those groundbreaking moments in space exploration, is absolutely fantastic.
“I hope the stories I share will give people a special insight into the magic of space and continue to inspire generations of future space explorers.
“Space has the capacity to inspire and fascinate people of all ages. It’s an honour to be able to share these unique experiences, which have forever changed how we look at the universe,” adds Tim.
