Astronaut Mike Massimino comes to the JCCSF for some real talk about space! Nerd out about everything NASA – from the first time he saw Earth from space and his first spacewalk, to his deep and abiding love for the Hubble telescope and what having "the right stuff" really means. A rare opportunity to meet one of the heroes of outer space!
Mike Massimino served as a NASA Astronaut from 1996 until 2014 and flew in space twice: on missions STS-109 on space shuttle Columbia in March 2002 and STS-125 on space shuttle Atlantis in May 2009 – the final two Hubble Space Telescope-servicing missions. Mike became the first human to tweet from space, was the last human to work inside of Hubble, and set a team record with his crewmates for the most cumulative spacewalking time on a single space shuttle mission. Mike has a recurring role as himself on The Big Bang Theory. He currently is an engineering professor at Columbia University and an advisor at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Spaceman is his first book.
Adam Savage is an industrial special effects designer, actor, educator, and former co-host of The Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters and Unchained Reaction. His acting resume includes early work as voices for Sesame Street characters created by his father. Savage’s model work has appeared in major films, including Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and The Matrix Reloaded. He has also taught advance model making at the Academy of Art in San Francisco.
Suggested for children ages 12 and up.
Come early for Space Day at the JCCSF!
From noon to 3:00 pm, space out with family-friendly fun in the Pottruck Family Atrium with activities and demos. Mi Morena will be serving up delicious tacos.
