Wedding Gift!

Baron Martin Rees says "sincerest congratulations" on the wedding between Genevieve O'Hagan and Eric Klien and gifts us with his special report "Apollo 11 50th Anniversary".
 
This report discusses the importance of Apollo 11 and how it can lead to us colonizing first Mars and then later, the galaxy.
 
Baron Martin Rees is Astronomer Royal and is a leading astrophysicist. He has conducted influential theoretical work on subjects as diverse as black hole formation and extragalactic radio sources, and provided key evidence to contradict the Steady State theory of the evolution of the Universe.
