Magazine Launch Event - Get your ticket HERE!

As billionaire tech titans turn space into their playground, the rest of us are getting left in the dust. Meanwhile, Earth’s skies fill with debris and the stratosphere is scorched by rockets. The latest edition of New Internationalist magazine examines the privatisation and militarization of space, what’s at stake for people and the planet, and plots a better way forwards.

Please join co-editor Nick Dowson at our special launch event in Newcastle (UK) to celebrate the new edition. We'll hear from researcher Peter Howson, astronomer and activist Lucian Walkowicz and other speakers, followed by a Q&A.

Tickets are free but spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.

Time - Monday 20th July 5-6pm,

Venue - Sandyford Building, Northumbria University, Newcastle. Room 409

The building is a short walk from the Haymarket Metro station. See here for more details on how to get there.
