The
San Diego Space Society was founded in 2008 with the purpose of raising
awareness and educating the general public to the benefits of human
exploration of space and San Diego's role in space development, as well
as to the idea of creating a spacefaring civilization within our
lifetimes.
SD Space meets monthly at the Serra Mesa Branch Library and participates in space-related events around San Diego Country and Southern California. The general public is welcome to attend any meeting listed on this site.
Location: Balboa Park (map) El Prado & Village Pl, San Diego, CA
At dusk on the first Wednesday of each month, following the monthly “Sky Tonight” planetarium show in the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater, members of the SDAA set up telescopes west of the Fleet on The Prado, for free public sky viewing.
The Mars Society San Diego and the San Diego Space Society set up displays near the telescopes. Stop by and say hello, or contact events@sdspace.org if you’re interested in volunteering.

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.
