From driving mars rovers and building lunar bases to icy moon cocktails, intergalactic art and extra-terrestrial Xmas decorations – this promises to be an out-of-this-world evening of discovery with our Imperial space scientists.

Programme highlights:

• Join our expert panel hosted by Britain’s first astronaut Helen Sharman on how humans might live and work on the Moon
