Adam Savage & Mary Roach Talk | SF Main Library

Submitted by the Event Organizer

It’s Mars, moonwalking and a MythBuster at One City One Book’s conversation between Mary Roach and Adam Savage on Wednesday, November 2 at the SF Main Library.

Spend your evening listening to best-selling, Oakland-based author Roach discuss her newest book Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void, which is about what it’s like to live in space and the science behind life in among the stars, with Discovery Channel star Savage.

Also get there early to see the premiere of “Rockets of Yesterday,” an eye-popping video tour of 1950s and 60s rocket dreams, and to make sure you snag a seat when doors open at 5:45, as space in the auditorium is limited.
