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 Pizza Port 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!

It’s time for the start of the SD Space Summer Field Trips. We’ll first be visiting the new Columbia Memorial Space Center in Downey California from 12pm – 4pm (departing San Diego at 9am) and having lunch before we arrive at the Center.
Additional summer trips/tours include a behind-the-scenes Palomar Observatory astronomy tour, the historic Mount Wilson Observatory summer tour, a return to SpaceX and hopefully Orbital Outfitters is being planned and we’ll finish out the summer with a Mojave Spaceport (think XCOR, Masten Space Systems, etc) tour.
The Columbia Memorial Space Center is a unique space science learning center located in Downey, California. Focusing on engineering, technology and science, it’s goal is to teach young people about space exploration and aviation with fun, hands-on experiences.
The Space Center features an interactive Robotics Lab, a state-of-the-art Magic Planet exhibit, a two-story Rocket Launcher, and L.A.’s only Challenger Learning Center for simulated space missions. You can even land the Space Shuttle, explore the Earth from Space, plan a trip to Mars and make your own solar system at one of our computers.
Please RSVP, as space is limited.
