The Mars Society – San Diego presents:
MARS MOVIE NIGHT — THE ASTRONAUT (1972)
In the not too distant future the first American astronaut prepares to set foot on the planet Mars. The world is watching this event live on television. Everything is a success, or so the world thinks, and he is treated as a hero upon his return. Later, it is discovered that the mission was a failure and as the astronaut on Mars died of an undetermined condition. Mission controllers on Earth fed a false image into the “live” broadcast so as not to panic the public. The “astronaut” who returned to Earth is actually a double who had undergone surgery so as to look like the real astronaut. Only the wife of the astronaut begins to suspect the man who returned, although looking identical to her husband, is somehow different. Unfortunately for those who created the hoax, the Russians announce that due to the American success they have launched their own mission which is now on its way to Mars.
A rare Made-for-TV movie starring Jackie Cooper, Monte Markham, Richard Anderson, Robert Lansing and Susan Clark.

Location:
Aztlan A&B in Building 3400
MiraCosta College, Oceanside, CA (map)
Join the MiraCosta College Astronomy Department for a public talk by Dr. Dana Backman, the Director of Education and Public Outreach for NASA’s SOFIA mission. The Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is a 2.5-meter infrared telescope mounted inside a Boeing 747. Spend an hour with Dr. Backman as he discusses why we’d put a telescope inside an airplane (guess what? it’s been done before!), and how it works. So far, all’s a “go” and science observations will begin later this year.
There will be free lithographs of the observatory (limited quantity), a Q&A with Dr. Backman after the talk, and a star party (weather-permitting).
The event is free and open to the public; all ages are welcome. Contact Rica French at the MiraCosta Astronomy Department for more information.
