Continuing our commitment to bring you a dinner speaker every month, we will have TWO speakers on Wednesday, November 19th at Mamacita’s Mexican Restaurant in Webster. This is one of our casual dinners where you don’t need to register and pay ahead of time. You just grab a seat, order your own dinner, and enjoy 2 wonderful topics.
Dinner: 6pm
Program: 6:45pm
The first speaker will be Dr. Rebecca Forrest, UH Physics Professor, who will speak for about 15 minutes on the amazing Mars Rover Competition being held in January 2015 that is looking for volunteers to judge kids’ entries. I volunteered last year and enjoyed it immensely. More information is at http://marsrover.phys.uh.edu/
The second speaker will be Mr. Larry Price, Lockheed Martin’s Deputy Program Manager for Orion. As many of you might know, Orion is scheduled to have an unmanned launch next month. Now is the perfect time for you to learn about what Orion is and how it will provide America the path to deep space and long duration flights.
