    Voyage to the stars with SoCal Science Cafe -- This June

    By socalscicafe  |  Posted May 26, 2008  |  Laguna Hills, California
     
    LAGUNA HILLS, CA -- SoCal Science Cafe today, along with the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites, announce the arrival of the new book "SpaceShipOne: An Illustrated History," by Dan Linehan. SoCal Science Cafe, the one-stop shop for science events in the Southern California region, is producing a book tour to promote this behind-the-scenes look at humanity's first commercial spaceship. "It should be an exciting opportunity to peer behind the scenes and learn what went into Burt Rutan and company winning the Ansari X Prize," says Dr. Brian Hart, astrophysicist and director of SoCal Science Cafe. The book tour spans six Southern California cities and will take Linehan from Palmdale, near where SpaceShipOne was built, all the way to the town of Oceanside in North San Diego County. SoCal Science Cafe is organizing the book tour in partnership with the Orange County Space Society. "It's a privilege to be working with Dr. Hart on such an exciting project as this book tour," says Michelle Evans, president of the Society. "We look forward to bringing this book to the public." Readers can buy the book -- just published -- from www.bn.com and sign up for a signing event and presentation in a city near them. To register, readers can visit http://www.socal-sciencecafe.org/spaceship.
