- **Event Name**: NASA and Project Hail Mary
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 01:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: I'm so excited to share that I'll be introducing a special showing of Project Hail Mary at Oak Park's Lake Theatre!

Project Hail Mary is an amazing novel by Andy Weir, who also wrote The Martian.

I'll be wearing my NASA Ambassador hat and my writer hat to cover:
🚀 Science vs science fiction
🪐 NASA's search for life, in and beyond our solar system
📚 Creating worlds and characters in fiction
🌙 And you'll even get to touch a moon rock!

I've been a NASA Ambassador for nearly a decade, and love talking to people of all ages about space science and NASA missions. From Telescope Nights to classroom presentations and everything in-between, it's always great meeting people and sharing knowledge and passion.
