Announcement: Space Remembrance Day - Monday January 31

 

Join the National Space Society in SL at 3 pm SLT on Mon 31 Jan as we remember those lost to making real our dreams of space.  We discuss space disasters, space risks, and their effect on the future of space exploration and development.

SETTING THE DATE for Space Remembrance Day:
The three American space tragedies which roughly define this observance are the Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia missions. NASA sets their date of observance inconsistently, based on scheduling and other considerations at the time, and different NASA Centers may hold events on different days. This is not publicly announced very far in advance, so we set our own date. NSS in SL considers that this is likely to be an important annual observance for future space settlers, and that they will want consistency (and a three day weekend!), so we have instituted the “Space Remembrance Monday Holiday Bill”…we hold our observance on the final Monday of January. This year, NASA will observe their Day of Remembrance on Thursday, January 27th:
