How I Hacked My Way Into Space, presented by Unlimited Theatre, tells the hilarious and moving story of how the Unlimited Space Agency’s Director of Human Spaceflight, Jon Spooner, accidentally set up his own space agency and hacked his way into space. The 45-minute theatre show will be presented from the car park of The Holbeck and live-streamed directly via the Unlimited Space Agency YouTube channel and Facebook page.
