Man in space. Moving the boundaries of the unknown. Armstrong N., Oldrin B., Leonov A.A.

The Starmus science festival was first held in 2011, and since then the participation of leading scientists, celebrities in the field of astronautics and music, which are united by a passion for popularizing knowledge about Earth and Cosmos, became a tradition. Учредитель фестиваля Гарик Исраелян создал экспертный совет, в который вошли такие замечательные личности, как астрофизик и рок-музыкант Брайан Мэй, эволюционный биолог Ричард Докинз, первооткрыватель микроволнового излучения Роберт Вильсон, теоретический физик Стивен Хокинг, космонавт Алексей Леонов, лауреат Нобелевской премии химик Харольд Крото and others.

Cosmonauts, participants in the American and Soviet space programs, will talk about unknown details of their flights and speak about the future of land and humanity. And scientists will share the new research data devoted to the study of life on Earth and the search in the Universe of Worlds, similar to ours who can become a home for a person.
