The Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) partnered with The Health Museum for a special event recognizing the 50th anniversary of one of humanity's greatest accomplishments: the Apollo 11 mission, which culminated in the first human bootprints on the moon.

Health: Moon and Beyond was held July 20, 2019. The event included a panel discussion of space health topics from the moon landing to a future  journey to Mars. VIP guests included retired NASA astronauts Dr. David Hilmers and Dr. Robert Satcher, TRISH director Dr. Dorit Donoviel and Dr. Jeffrey Sutton, director of Baylor College of Medicine's Center for Space Medicine. A special screening of the Smithsonian film The Day We Walked on the Moon followed the discussion.
