The Planetary Society announced this week that it is holding the first in a series of “town hall” meetings on space policy this Saturday in Brookline, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. The society is billing this event as the “public follow-up” to the Stanford University exploration workshop last month, which endorsed human exploration with the goal of “Mars and beyond”. “We need to examine the current Vision for Space Exploration to see what it will take to gather greater political support and public interest to carry out the Vision,” Lou Friedman said in the statement. The society hasn’t released a schedule of future such events.
Sounds more like a PR stunt for Mars First!
They should be able to get a good deal on a small rental hall that seats 8-10 people…
