Gideon Marcus

Gideon Marcus is a professional space historian, author, and public speaker with a passion for teaching. He literally wrote the book on the early automated American space program in a series of articles for Quest: Space Quarterly. Gideon is the founder of the Serling-Award winning and Hugo-nominated web project, galacticjourney.org, the mission of which is to recover the lost voices of SFF and the Space Race, making the past relevant to today. To that end, he has assembled a diverse team of twenty individuals, covering Science Fact and Fiction across the globe as it existed exactly 55 years ago. His educational series of lectures/panels, performed at conventions and public venues across the West Coast, are must-see events, both entertaining and enlightening.
