Space is infinite, and so are its mysteries. But there is a place where curiosity is based, real men and women ply their craft, and the work of exploring the stars occurs. This presentation will explore how Berea and specific individuals had a meaningful impact on our exploration and understanding of the vast and unfathomable cosmos.
