An Evening with Dr. Gregory Olsen, Inventor, Entrepreneur and Space Traveler
LECTURE - 6:00 p.m. April 11, 2008 
Almost 100 people attended the fascinating lecture and discussion and learned first-hand what it’s like to travel into space with U.S. scientist and entrepreneur Dr. Gregory Olsen. On October 1, 2005, Dr. Olsen became the world's third civilian space traveler when he successfully launched into space with Russian Cosmonaut Valeri Tokarev and NASA Astronaut Bill McArthur aboard a Soyuz spacecraft. During his 10-day trip to the International Space Station (ISS) and back, he performed more than 150 orbits of the Earth, logged almost four million miles of weightless travel, and conducted several experiments in remote sensing and astronomy.
