ASTRONAUT SPEAKERS
When character Ralph Kramden told his wife in the show The Honeymooners “To the moon, Alice!,” perhaps he was making a statement with more profound implications than he originally intended. Now famous astronauts in the 1950s and 1960s took that statement to heart, leading to one of mankind’s greatest achievements—a manned flight to the moon—during the Apollo mission that got us there in 1969.

The many astronauts who have gone through NASA’s intensive physical, technical and scholastic astronaut training since the early days of the space program all share one thing in common: they were awed and amazed by the experience of venturing beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. As a result, their amazing stories offer inspiration and valuable lessons about what it means to work toward a seemingly impossible goal. Barberusa.com’s astronaut speakers all hope to share those messages with the audience members of your next business lecture, corporate symposium, educational seminar or at a variety of other kinds of events. The roots of America’s space program lie in an organization once known as the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which was founded in 1915 in order to study advance flying technologies. In the late 1950s, that program was then assimilated into a new organization that looked at peaceful ways to use flying technology in order to put men (and later women) into space. That organization—the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)—has come to represent the absolute edge of what mankind can achieve in this world through technology and with a bit of good, old-fashioned American gumption. Early astronauts in particular embraced that ever-important quality of American innovation.

Barberusa.com is proud to host many of the famous astronauts who have piloted and worked upon the vessels that have transcended the heavens, and who have taken in a view or our planet and universe that so precious few have ever had the extreme luxury of seeing. The audience of your next event will be floored by the wisdom and wonder that our astronaut speakers will bestow upon your employees, students and audience members.

William Pogue, for example, is one of the speakers you may contact through Barberusa.com. Pogue was one of the original Apollo astronauts, a position he earned after serving our country as a pilot in the Korean War and after studying mathematics and aeronautics. In addition to flying on three separate Apollo missions, Pogue spent 84 days in the Skylab space station, helping NASA learn more about endurance in outer space.

Alan Bean, an artist as well as an astronaut and a Barberusa.com speaker, was the lunar module pilot during the Apollo 12 mission in addition to his own work with the Skylab station. Furthermore, Barberusa.com features many other astronauts who are particularly skilled at sharing the lessons they learned from their experiences in becoming astronauts with your audience.
