The San Diego Space Society works toward creating a spacefaring civilization within our lifetimes by raising awareness and educating the general public to the benefits of space exploration and San Diego's role in it. More about us…

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 Ritual Tavern 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!

Outside of Earth herself, Mars is the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. But what does that really mean? What are the current conditions on the red planet? Is there air, water and other necessities for life? Could human beings eventually colonize there and make a second home for human civilization?
Gerry Williams of The Mars Society-San Diego will give us a multimedia look at what our robotic explorers are telling us about what the planet Mars is really like.
This presentation is free and open to the public. Contact events@sdspace.org if you have any questions.
