Speaker: Ari Silburt The Moon is intimately connected to humans, whether we realize it or not. It has been there since the formation of the Earth, and has watched over life as we evolved to the present day. Like ourselves, the Moon has also been changing with time, and there are many layers to its existence. In this lecture I will re-acquaint the public with the Moon, describing its formation history, its relationship to humans, its current relationship with the Earth, and future space plans on the Moon.
