Guess whos coming to town?
This morning, ARTDU 2015 organisers, Blake and Nic had the pleasure of chatting with an absolute legend of of the rocketry world. A former NASA engineer and well known for his amazing literature, the team at ARTDU 2015 are very excited to announce this very special guest will be coming Down Under in March 2015.
In the rocketry scene, he is probably best known for the book Rocket Boys and movieOctober Sky. If you havent already guessed it, Homer Hickam and his lovely wife Linda are now ready to take on an adventure of a life time in Australia.
