Space Rocks on The Space Week Festival Stage
Space Rocks is a celebration of space exploration and the art, music, and culture it inspires. It’s our belief that there’s never been a more exciting time in humanity’s quest to understand our place in the universe, looking both outwards into the solar system and the stars and galaxies beyond, and back at the precious planet we all call home.
It isn’t just about great science and technology. From film to music to literature and beyond, the space age we’re living in has been fuelling imaginations for decades: a prime example was the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission to catch a comet which sparked new creative connections around the world. It also brought the creative team behind Space Rocks together: publishing and event veterans Alexander Milas, James Isaacs, and John O’Sullivan, and senior advisor for science and and exploration at ESA, Mark McCaughrean.
To capture and expand that excitement, we are now bringing it all under one roof in an endeavour we call Space Rocks, an opportunity for space and culture to come together to inform, entertain, and inspire a new generation of explorers.
