Posted by Nothing stirs the imagination quite like entertaining the possibilities for human life on other worlds. And no place in Los Angeles provides a better platform for public discussion of such issues than the Griffith Observatory.
Case in point, this Friday the Observatory is hosting a unique discussion panel and book signing event that will explore the possibilities and challenges associated with human colonization of the red planet.
