Luna Philosophie: "Humanity Evolving Into Space"

Please join us for the first meeting of Luna Philosophie, a time for discussing humanity's evolution into space. This event is an initiative of NASA CoLab, a new project aiming to increase public participation in the nation's space program. Luna Philosophie will occur on (or close to) every Full Moon, in San Francisco, as part of CoLab's efforts to bring NASA and space to the dynamic creative communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. Each Luna Philosophie meeting will have a different theme, and will involve a presentation and open discussion for philosophizing. Anyone who is interested in an open, creative dialogue on human, space related topics is encouraged to attend!

WHAT: This first meeting of Luna Philosophie will provide an introduction to NASA CoLab and the Luna Philosophie "Humanity Evolving Into Space" concept in general.

BONUS: At 8pm we'll get a sneak preview of "Maelstrom II," a development stage HD Digital short film project by Industrial Light & Magic's Jeroen LaPre; Jeroen will share early footage from the film, and, in the collaborative spirit of NASA CoLab, invite the community to help him turn this Arthur C. Clarke short story into a polished digital short film in time for Sir Arthur's 90th birthday!
