DESCRIPTION:\nFilm evenings begin with optional potluck refreshments and social hour at 
  6:30 pm,\nfollowed by the film at  7:30 pm, followed by a discussion after 
 the film.\n\nDESTINATION MOON\nby George Pal\n\nWhen production on this 
 movie began in 1949, everything about the project was state of the art.  
 The great science fiction author Robert Heinlein co-wrote the script and 
 served as technical advisor.  The movie’s astronomical visions were 
 realized by Chesley Bonestell, whose artwork virtually defined the look of 
 space travel at the dawn of the rocket era.  This movie is even noted in 
 NASA’s official time line of space-travel history.  It remains a 
 milestone film, not so much as classic science fiction but as an attempt to 
 visualize the reality of space exploration.\n\nThe movie now seems quaintly 
 nostalgic, and its depiction of humanity’s first lunar landing is 
 inaccurate on several details. Taken in context, however, it remains 
 impressively authentic.  The motivation for the lunar conquest remains 
 military:  the country that controls the moon will control the Earth, and 
 cold war paranoia fuels the mission of the rocket ship Luna, which blasts 
 off from the Mojave desert carrying four daring astronauts.\n\nWheelchair 
 accessible around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 donations are 
 accepted\n\n\n\n\n\n
