Disney in Space: Walt Disney and the Future of Space Travel in the 1950s

Heritage Park Regional Library (map)

Selected By: A former member

The September program for the Orange County Space Society will be given by OCSS member John Sisson. This will be an updated version of the program he first gave in March that was so popular everyone wanted him to come back and give it a second time. We would love to have a large turn out from So Cal Science Cafe members as well.

John's program will focus on how Walt Disney helped to ignite the flame of imagination and to show how the idea of going into space, to the Moon, and even to Mars, were not things of a far off future, but something that could be accomplished in our lifetimes. It is visionaries such as Disney that we could use again today to do what he did 50 and 60 years ago. John will have video and lots of display materials that should be very entertaining and enlightening. It should be a great program to bring everyone in the family to.

Hope to see you there.
