In April 2026 the world watched agog as four astronauts flew around the Moon, reaching the greatest distance from Earth that any humans had ever travelled and rekindling the magic of space exploration perhaps not witnessed since the Apollo missions.  Join University of Glasgow astronomer Martin Hendry as he takes a deep dive into the Artemis programme, its plans to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon and form a launch pad to Mars and beyond.

Martin Hendry is Professor of Gravitational Astrophysics and Cosmology at the University of Glasgow where he is also Clerk of Senate and Vice Principal of the University, having previously been Head of the School of Physics and Astronomy between 2012 and 2020.
