HomeRegistrationsThis Could Be The Most Fascinating Night Out You Ever Have! Jayne Henry February 14, 2018 Registrations Head to the SSE Arena in Belfast on February 15th and you’re in for a real treat. Back in 1977, a whole generation of kids watched the moon landing and wanted to be an astronaut when they grew up. While most of them ultimately ended up in other more down to earth careers, one little Canadian boy, Chris Hadfield, actually fulfilled his childhood dream and spend his 35 year career as an astronaut. Colonel Chris Hadfield will be speaking at the SSE arena and it’s bound to be incredibly interesting. It will be an amazing night out for the whole family. You might remember Chris from his rendition of David Bowie’s Space Oddity that he performed on the ISS that went viral. He’s certainly got a lot to talk about. He was the first Canadian ever to walk in space, he’s flown two space shuttle missions and he served as commander on the ISS. Five months spent in space is certainly going to give you some great stories to tell, and he’ll be telling plenty of them at the SSE, along with some fascinating and rarely seen video footage. Get involved with the NI Science Festival This event kick starts the NI Science Festival that runs from 15th to 25th February. There’s loads going on, you can check out the programme of events on the official website at https://www.nisciencefestival.com/ There really is something on that will interest everyone. There are several events focusing on the science of cookery, you can learn about self-driving vehicles, there’s a great lecture entitled 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Meteorites (But Thought You Did) and you can even learn about bee keeping! There are events for the kids such as Storytime for Little Scientists at Belfast Central Library, and some events for adults only such as The Physics of Gin! Get scientific with your new number plate If you’re a bit of a science geek, then why not show the world with a space age number plate? Fond of gazing at the stars? Then you could have STA 4. Do you believe there’s life on other planets out there somewhere? How about an out of this world UFO plate such as UFO 4S, F20 UFO or N28 UFO. You can pick up one of these for the unearthly price of just £199! Or how about a SKY plate such as SKY 65 or SKY 702? If the infinity of space is a bit overwhelming for you, how about going smaller with an atom plate such as A10 TOM?
