Space Day photos

Posted by Chris Radcliff in Events on May 19, 2008

I’m getting caught up with these, I promise! :)

The San Diego Space Society display table made its second appearance at the San Diego Air & Space Museum‘s Space Day Celebration on May 10th. We set up right next to the always-crowd-pleasing Mars Society booth, and Gerry Williams and John Stone kindly helped me by watching things while I dashed off for a quick lunch. Thanks, guys!

The crowd was great. All ages were present, with kids, parents, and the young-at-heart all showing their excitement for space topics past, present, and future. Visitors also got to see displays by OCSS (our neighbors to the North), Goldstone, Virgin Galactic, NASA/JPL, a local SETI group, and more. Special guest Bill Shepherd signed autographs and gave a talk as well, then stopped by to say hello to the presenting groups.
