Dear Space Engineer / Space Engineering Student Colleague!

I would like to invite you to a special lecture!

Dr. Andrew ‘Andy’ Aldrin (USA) has accepted my invitation and will give a lecture entitled “Waves of Space Commercialization” on Wednesday, December 3, between 15:00 and 15:45 in the lecture hall QBF10, as part of the Hungarian Space Activity and its International Affairs (Space Engineering MSc) class. In his lecture, he wants to point out that this is not the first time we have tried to commercialize space, but there is no guarantee that we will succeed.
