Free SAN DIEGO VINTAGE SCI-FI Movie This Weekend: CRACK IN THE WORLD (1965)
Are you a fan of vintage SF (film and TV) of the ’30′s through early ’60′s? Would you like to get together with other local fans to watch & discuss your favorites?
This was the age of damsels in distress, pocket-change special effects, and those fabulous rubber monster suits. At the same time, such writers as Robert Heinlein, C.L. Moore, and Theodore Sturgeon crafted mature and contemplative screenplays for television and theater audiences. Come watch the best and worst from this era!

The San Diego Space Society is proud to announce the Grand Opening of the Space Travelers Emporium. The event coincides with the South Park Walkabout and the screening of the movie Moon Beat (seating is limited, so be sure to RSVP for the movie to confirm yours).
After a month and a half of hard work by many SD Space members, the Space Travelers Emporium will open for business. The Emporium is a storefront that provides both financial support for SD Space and outreach to the community. It’s also designed to be a classroom, project lab, and meeting place for local space enthusiasts.
The storefront will feature a blend of in-stock products (t-shirts, posters, patches), special order items (books, model rockets, electronics, actual space suits), and travel-agency-style ticketing (Zero-G flights, suborbital space flights, astronaut training).
Members and the public are invited to attend. For more information, email info@sdspace.org.

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 Stout Public 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!
