Red Mars Day (San Francisco)
Description
In Kim Stanley Robinson's scifi classic, Red Mars, the first colonists leave Earth for the Red Planet on December 21st, 2026.
That date is finally here! We're not leaving for Mars just yet, but we've learned a lot since Red Mars was published. Let's commemorate the date by celebrating Kim Stanley Robinson and the steps we're taking to expand off-world with an lively discussion, echoing Sak's and Anne Claybourne's epic debate: Should we terraform mars?
Join real-life terraforms, planetary protection advocates, space habitat designers, and the guest of honor, legendary author Kim Stanley Robinson for a night of debate, dreams, and stargazing (weather-permitting).
Come toast Kim Stanley Robinson and the First Hundred settlers of Mars. Whether you've read the book a dozen times or just love the idea of humanity setting out for Mars, there's a spot for you here.
