The Future of Space

Kylie from Hutt City Libraries

There is no doubt that the space industry is literally “taking off” around the world.

Global giants like Tesla and NASA have ambitious plans to integrate space technology (and travel) into our everyday lives.

But how does New Zealand fit into all of this? What does the future of space industry look like for us? And how can students of today get involved in the space industry for tomorrow?

Explore the answers to all these questions and more, with Amber Joseph, co-founder and National President of the New Zealand Students' Space Association on Friday 9 August from 6pm!

Our friends from the Wellington Astronomical Society will also be here after the talk with their telescopes for some stargazing if the sky is clear!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
