2008 Launch Picnic canopyWe’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!
