The Seville Star Trek Club and the Astromares Association are organizing the science outreach event “Starships: From Fiction to Reality,” a gathering designed to bring the public closer to the major challenges and advances in space exploration from a scientific perspective, while also drawing inspiration from the imagination that has fueled science fiction for decades.
The event will feature Gabriel Iglesias Fernández, an aeronautical engineer, and Miguel Antonio Cortés Giraldo, an atomic physicist and professor at the University of Seville, who will deliver a dynamic and interactive talk on some of the topics currently generating the greatest interest in the field of space exploration.
During the session, attendees will explore subjects such as the current state of the space race, the real possibilities behind futuristic technologies like the warp drive popularized by Star Trek, and the enormous technical, physical, and human challenges that humanity would face in a future crewed mission to Mars.
Rather than being a strictly academic lecture, the event is intended for all audiences, including both science fiction enthusiasts and people interested in science, technology, and the future of space exploration. The format will also encourage direct interaction with the speakers, allowing attendees to ask questions, share reflections, and actively participate in the discussion.
Through this initiative, the Seville Star Trek Club and Astromares aim to foster scientific curiosity and demonstrate how many ideas born in fiction have inspired some of the most important technological advances of our time.
Schedule
The event is free of charge and will take place on June 20 at 11:30 a.m. at the Casa de la Ciencia in Seville. Admission is free until full capacity is reached.
