Terasem Colloquium, July 20, 2026
The early days of a better Spaceflight Revolution.
The first Terasem Colloquium of 2026 will take place on Monday, July 20, the anniversary of the first human landing on the Moon. The Colloqium will take place via Zoom, from 10am ET to 1pm ET.
The theme of the Colloquium is: The early days of a better Spaceflight Revolution.
“As William Sims Bainbridge pointed out in his 1976 book, The Spaceflight Revolution: A Sociological Study,” said Arthur Clarke, “space travel is a technological mutation that should not really have arrived until the 21st century.”
Bainbridge’s book, written 50 years ago, is worth reading again. “Somewhere soon after the turn of the century there is the real possibility of a Second Spaceflight Revolution,” said Bainbridge in the last chapter. Today, after the Artemis II mission around the Moon and the recently announced NASA plans, we are seeing the possible beginnings of a new Spaceflight Revolution.
Bainbridge will speak at the Colloquium about a new, and better, Spaceflight Revolution.
