Andrew Rader

Join Kepler’s Literary Foundation and a person at the forefront of space exploration as we spotlight our insatiable desire— throughout history and now— to push into new and unchartered territory. The man taking us there with his infectious curiosity, engaging presentation style, and brilliant mind is Andrew Rader— an MIT-credentialied scientist, host of the popular podcast Spellbound, SpaceX mission manager, and author of Beyond the Known: How Exploration Created the Modern World and Will Take Us to the Stars.

We’ve reached a time in our evolution that was once nothing more than science fiction: the ability to explore the vastness of space and even settle other worlds with the goal of becoming multi-planetary. Rader explores the history of how we got here, along with our Spacefaring Future, unveiling plans that are already underway for settling other planets and traveling to the stars.

Whether you’re a fan of space, technology, science and/or science fiction, or just a curious soul, you won’t want to miss an evening that’ll take us to the stars and beyond.
