In our August 5 meeting, Frank Glover will return to follow up on his earlier talk about the manned space program.  This time, he'll focus on interplanetary exploration. Frank always brings great visuals and a profound interest in this subject matter. 

If there's time after the presentation, we'll go around and share with the group what we're currently reading.

Location: Barnes & Noble, Pittsford
Meeting Time: August 5, 2014 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
