Some of the biggest names in the space industry recently came together to celebrate the best and brightest people in the field at the inaugural Global Space Awards. The lavish event, which also championed the life and legacy of the late NASA astronaut James Lovell, placed particular emphasis on the importance of innovation and sustainability in the future of space exploration.
On Dec. 5, dozens of researchers, science communicators, celebrities and industry experts met at the Natural History Museum in London to wine, dine and strut the red carpet, all under the illuminated skeleton of a giant blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) and the watchful gaze of a statue of Charles Darwin.
