Sturtz’s music stands out for its distinctive, soothing instrumental and vocal harmonies. The acoustic quartet – Andrew Sturtz [vocals, guitar], Jim Herlihy [banjo], Courtlyn Carpenter [cello], and Will Kuepper [bass] – falls somewhere at the intersection of folk, jazz, and soul, with lead singer Andrew Sturtz’s melodic vocals soaring over the lower string instrumentals. Sturtz is based in Boulder, CO, making appearances at venues like eTown in Boulder, CO, the Belly Up in Aspen, CO, and the Mishawaka Amphitheater in Bellvue, CO. The band was featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered in 2020 and will be releasing a full-length album on August 15, 2021.

This presentation will discuss the set of current and future missions exploring the Moon and Mars. We’ll highlight the ways in which robot precursors are critical for subsequent human explorers, and how humans ‘in the loop’ will markedly improve the efficiency of scientific exploration. We’ll cover NASA’s Artemis program of lunar exploration, including Orion and lunar surface activity, the rovers and orbiters at Mars today, the upcoming robotic Mars Sample Return mission, and Lockheed Martin’s Mars Base Camp concept for crewed exploration of Mars. By learning more about our solar system, we’re learning more about our home planet. Humans and robots working together make it possible.
About the Speaker:
Timothy Cichan (Chee-haan) is the Space Exploration Architect at Lockheed Martin, where he leads a multi-disciplinary team of engineers who figure out how to help astronauts and robots visit the Moon, asteroids, and Mars. He previously was the Orion System Architect. Timothy joined Lockheed Martin in 2002, and has worked for both human spaceflight and commercial communication satellite teams, in optimal trajectory design, mission analysis, subsystem development, and systems engineering. He has a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from Penn State.
Note: Due to unforeseen circumstances, Marcella Yant will not be presenting at this event.

Jayme Stone is a musician, composer, instigator, producer, and educator. On any given day, you might find him in his studio reworking a little-known hymn learned from a field recording, producing a session with musicians from Bamako or New York, creating experimental soundscapes, or tucking his kids in on time so he can get back to writing the next verse of a new song.
Stone, a “consummate team player” (Downbeat), has developed a process of trawling for understudied sounds in the more arcane corners of the world to see how they’ll land in his musical universe. His many collaborators have included Margaret Glaspy, Moira Smiley, Tim O’Brien, Bruce Molsky, Julian Lage, Dom Flemons, Bassekou Kouyate, and more. Guided by his own aesthetic compass and a desire to let his collaborators “make the sounds that only they know how to make”, he has made a surprise album every two or three years—seven total. Albums like Africa to Appalachia, a polyrhythmic tale of two continents and the Lomax Project, which re-imagines songs collected by American folklorist Alan Lomax.
On his latest album, AWake, Stone breaks new ground: from folk musician and composer to experimental pop singer and producer. A unique tonal palette blends with deft storytelling and disarmingly honest lyrics to create a sonic world both eminently engaging and full of nuance and surprise. Co-produced by David Travers-smith, AWake features Felicity Williams (Bahamas), Daniela Gesundheit (Feist), Jason Burger (Big Thief), Jason Linder (David Bowie), and more.

The most anticipated observatory ever built—the James Webb Space Telescope—will soon be launched on one of the world’s largest rockets. Webb must be precisely folded to fit into the rocket, and then once deployed it must precisely unfold—a series of minute steps that Webb’s international team will anxiously monitor.
Ball Aerospace built Webb’s optical system and is supporting NASA’s integration and test and will support the launch and commissioning as Webb travels one million miles to its orbit point. Webb far exceeds the Hubble telescope in sensitivity and complexity and promises to exceed Hubble’s cosmic-revealing powers.
About the speaker: Erin Wolf, Ball Aerospace
Erin Wolf has worked on Webb since 2009, at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and then at Ball Aerospace. Before her role as Ball’s Webb program manager, she contributed to Landsat 9’s TIRS-2 instrument and to Hubble Servicing Mission 4. Erin received her B.S. in physics from the University of Puget Sound.

Lynn Hill is a living legend. Few have accomplished an athletic feat more than a decade before anyone else- man or woman. Lynn changed the definition of what is possible in rock climbing with her first free ascent of the most famous big wall climb in the world called The Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite Valley, California. Over nineteen years later, Tommy Caldwell and Lynn are still the only two people in the world to have succeeded in making an all free one-day ascent of The Nose.
Moderated by Bill Briggs
Bill Briggs grew up in Boulder, learned to climb in the Flatirons and nearby canyons, and has climbed and run in the Colorado Rockies all his life.
