Breathable atmosphere? Check. SD Space t-shirts? Check. Beer? Check. Good Conversation? Well, we need your help with that last one. Join members of SD Space and fellow space enthusiasts/advocates at Newport Pizza & Ale House for a night of relaxed fun talking about space exploration news, our future in space, and anything else that comes to mind.
Don’t worry if you can’t make it this time; there will be another one in a few weeks—location and date to be announced here. No need to RSVP, either; just stop on by and look for the space geeks table. SD Space members will be wearing their t-shirts for easy identification. See you there!

Each presenter speaks about themselves for a few minutes then the rest of the conversation is up to you! The next webcast will feature local San Diegan (well Oceansideian to be exact), Francis French.
Francis is the Director of Education at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. He is also the co-author of two award-winning space history books, Into That Silent Sea, and In the Shadow of the Moon. In addition to discussing his two books, which chronicle the first eight years of American and Russian manned spaceflight, Francis will spend most of his time answering user submitted questions.
