What we're about

The Saint Louis Space Frontier (http://stlouisspacefrontier.org/)is a chapter of the National Space Society (http://www.nss.org). The NSS Vision is: People living and working in thriving communities beyond the Earth, and the use of the vast resources of space for the dramatic betterment of humanity. Our chapter meets monthly, participates in outreach events, has fun at social events, and hosts the Gateway to Space conference each fall. We were the local hosts for NSS's International Space Development Conference in May 2017. Please join us as we explore, and settle, the Universe! (Meetup Members: You can become full-fledged (uhm, paying) members of St. Louis Space Frontier by visiting our website and clicking on JOIN US! http://stlouisspacefrontier.org/ )

The National Space Society sponsors an ongoing series of virtual forums and town halls covering all areas of space exploration, development and settlement. We invite thought leaders to candidly express their views on space and the future.

First Friday

Saint Louis Science Center

The theme for February is: Black Panther!

Geek out with us on the first Friday of every month!

Learn the real science behind science fiction and mingle with others interested in the geekier side of life. Each month, First Friday features a different theme, hands-on activities, pub-style trivia, engaging presentations, photo opps for showing off your costume, and food and drink specials.

The evening culminates with a free screening of a classic science fiction movie or episode. First Friday favorites like public telescope viewings, a free 7 PM Planetarium star show, and special prices for our special exhibition are a staple at every event.

Each month there is a different theme!
March 3 - George of the Jungle
April 7 - Nintendo
May 5 - Titanic

St. Louis Space Frontier hosts two outreach tables in the Planetarium. We'd love your help at these tables to talk about space exploration and settlement.
