Surviving on the Edge of Space

David Coultard MBE,  Department of Physics, The University of York

Have you ever wanted to be an astronaut? What are the risks? Could you survive? Where does space start? What is a vacuum? See demonstrations that will illustrate how the vacuum of space might affect you and participate in vacuum experiments. Learn about the early pioneers of space flight, survival at extreme altitudes and what would happen if you were accidentally exposed to a hostile space environment!
