Hank Green of the SciShow gives his preview of major space events in 2014:
A “Dark Sky Space Meetup” in Arizona in April
The annual Space Access Society meeting, my favorite conference, was unfortunately canceled for 2014.
For those who want to experience space in Arizona this spring regardless, David Luther of Exodus Aerospace is suggesting an outdoor star party meetup to the north of Phoenix: First Contact Dark Sky Space Meetup – Exodus Aerospace
Our Space Access 2014 conference in April was cancelled this year. Can we offer a special substitute event to the public in it’s place? A few real rocket guy will still be around so why don’t we do a dark sky meetup for stars of rocketry, astronomy, and maybe Hollywood? We could use ideas and conversation!
