Luna Philosophie

Luna Philosophie is regular salon and discussion coordinated by NASA CoLab . They occur on (or close to) Full Moons in San Francisco, as part of CoLab's efforts to bring NASA and space exploration to the San Francisco Bay Area community. Each Luna Philosophie meeting has a different theme, and will involve a presentation and open discussion for philosophizing. Anyone who is interested in an open, creative dialog on human, space related topics is encouraged to attend!

Upcoming Luna Philosophies are announced on our low-volume mailing list. Please sign up (see left) to be notified.
