Beyond the Cradle: Envisioning a New Space Age
Date Time Location
March 12th, 2017 8:00am-7:00pm
Space will be hackable. Space will be playful. Space grows ever more accessible to the space enthusiast through the reach of their DIY instruments, experiments, sensors and satellites, and soon through space tourism. This opportunity to design our interplanetary lives beckons to us.

Join us on Sunday, March 12 as we envision, design, hack, and fabricate our space future. We'll hear from innovation engineers at NASA, sci-fi's most creative minds, Hollywood imagineers, astronauts, and industry leaders in "New Space."
