The "San Diego Air & Space Museum's "Movie Night at the Museum" will have the San Diego premiere of The Wonder Of It All (a film by Jeffery Roth) and a very special fundraising event for the Museum! All proceeds from the event will go to support the Museum's Education Programs.
In May 1961, President John F. Kennedy spoke the immortal words; "I believe that this nation should commit itself, to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." These words changed the lives of twelve men who became known as "Moonwalkers." The journey began there and continues on in Jeffrey Roth's remarkable documentary, The Wonder Of It All.
Showtime is Friday, June 27th - 6:30pm to 10pm at the "San Diego Air & Space Museum. Cost: $50, proceeds going to the Museum's Education Programs. Please RVSP to Brittney Matthiesen at 619.234.8291, ext. 111. Or register for this event online.

- TMS-SD MARS MOVIE NIGHT
- "ROCKETSHIP X-M" (1950)
Astronauts blast off to explore the moon. But because of craft malfunction and some strange fuel calculations, they end up landing on the red planet. On Mars, evidence of a once powerful civilization is found. The scientists determined that an atomic war destroyed most of the Martians (who surprisingly look like humans). Those that survived reverted to a caveman-like existence.
Showtime is Saturday at 7:00pm at Studio 106 in the Art Union Building at 2323 Broadway 92102 -- please RSVP to FILMIST[at]MAC.COM. We'll provide the popcorn -- you can bring drinks or snacks to share.
