We’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing with a picnic lunch and some rocket launches. Bring your own lunch and blanket; we’ll provide a launch pad and help you turn soda bottles and paper tubes into awesome water and air rockets.
We’ll choose a picnic spot at the north end of Morley Field. Park in the lot near Texas and J St and look for the SD Space tent canopy. Email events@sdspace.org if you have any questions, or if you have empty 2-liter soda bottles to donate to the event.
Hope to see you there!

The Space Elevator is a radical new way to access space less expensively than possible with chemical rocket technology. The technology offers solutions to many of the problems facing communities today, including but not limited to the need for clean, renewable energy.
The Space Elevator uses a carbon nanotube ribbon that stretches from the surface of the earth to a counterweight in space. Climbers ascend the ribbon, lifting cargo and passengers to earth orbits and launching space ships to distant planets.
The 2009 Space Elevator Conference focuses on all aspects of Space Elevator development, engaging an international audience of scientists, engineers, educators, managers, entrepreneurs, enthusiasts and students. This conference will feature topical discussions in all of the four pillars of Space Elevator development: science/technical, political/social, legal, and economic. Other topics include the space missions and the style of life on Earth that Space Elevator technology will enable.
