The 2026 Speaker’s Series Featuring Dr. Thomas Carson “The Lessons of Apollo”

January 27, 2026 – 7PM The Book Nook and Java Shop, 8744 Ferry St. in Montague.

Dr. Thomas Carson will speak about “The Lessons of Apollo”. Dr. Carson has a PhD from the Purdue University Department of Civil Engineering where he specialized in imagery and mapping science. He spent his career working on problems related to determining the precise positioning and orientation of satellite imaging systems, as well as imagery and geospatial analysis. He grew up fascinated with the manned space program, one of his earliest memories being sitting on his mother’s lap watching the launch of John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth. Tom has used his knowledge of engineering and space science together with his fascination with Project Apollo to put together a presentation that looks at how critical decisions were made during our initial quest to go to the moon, how some of the lessons learned can be applied to our own decision making in life, as well as some things that he just thinks are too cool not to mention.
