The events programme has been created with the assistance of Imperial College London Astrophysicist and STFC Public Engagement Fellow, Dr. Roberto Trotta, with special thanks to John Dunning.

An immersive space odyssey, the Extra-Terrestrial programme weaves between the absurd and the factual to offer a timely commentary on contemporary issues surrounding Earth s sustainability, the commodification of space and what it means to be alien.
