Starmus Festival release
Three Legendary Moonwalkers to Land in Norway and Share Their Stories, Together, For the Very First Time at Starmus IV

Buzz Aldrin, Charlie Duke and Harrison Schmitt will unite for the first time in front of an audience of thousands in Norway's scientific capital, Trondheim, as part of Starmus IV festival. They will take part in a thrilling hour-long debate, titled "To The Moon And Beyond." The three moonwalkers will explore their incredible landings decades later and will share their different views on future missions to Mars.

"It has been my privilege to have attended two previous Starmus Conferences. I have never attended a conference with a more distinguished group of speakers. From Nobel Laureates to space voyagers to top scientists.The lectures were all informative, thought provoking and entertaining. I look forward to participating in Starmus IV, especially the panel discussion with my fellow moonwalkers," said Charlie Duke.

"Starmus festivals invoke many passions for science and the arts. They embody the ingenious idea of combining these endeavors in public presentations and vigorous interactions. I look forward to returning to Norway in June and joining STARMUS 2017 in discussions about "Life in the Universe". Indeed, missions to the Moon, including my Apollo 17 lunar landing nearly 45 years ago, provide new geo-biological insights into the life-forming environment of our early planet Earth," said Harrison Schmitt.

At Starmus IV the moonwalkers will bring their stories to life in a lively and engaging discussion, with fascinating details that have never been revealed before. This will be a moment in history not to be missed.

Other legendary astronauts lined up to speak at Starmus IV include Alexei Leonov, Walter Cunningham, Sandra Magnus, and Terry Virts.

The Times of London interviewed Buzz Aldrin, Charlie Duke and Harrison Schmitt as part of a Sunday (April 9) feature timed to promote their upcoming appearance at the Starmus Festival.
Of the six surviving walkers, three of them — Buzz Aldrin, Duke and Schmitt — are the stars of Starmus IV festival in Norway in June. This is a spectacular science-and-music event started by an astrophysicist, Garik Israelian. Other than the walkers, this one has Stephen Hawking, Oliver Stone, Brian Cox, Larry King and more. But, let's face it, the walkers are the stars; there's something special about them: not even Elon Musk's space tourists will have the honour of actually setting foot on the moon.

Here's the recording of "The Infinite Monkey Cage" that was recorded at Starmus. Joining Brian Cox are astronauts Sandra Magnus and Terry Virts, ESA astronaut Claude Nicollier, and Apollo 16's Charlie Duke.
