- This came in a flyer from the Planetary Society, and I thought it
- would be of interest to everyone here.

-
- Thirty years ago this month, humanity witnessed its first planetary
- encounter when Mariner 2 flew by Venus and demonstrated that the planet
- is astonishingly hot. On December 8, 1992, we will celebrate our newest
- encounter when Galileo swings past Earth one last time on its voyage to
- Jupiter...

- The Planetary Society
- in cooperation with
- NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and
- the California Institute of of Technology

- On December 14, 1962, Earth's first successful planetary probe, Mariner 2,
- entered space exploration history when it gathered important scientific data
- on it flight past Venus. 30 years later Earth itself will be visited by a
- planetary spacecraft when Galileo flies past Earth for the second and last
- time. Using three planetary fly-bys (two with Earth, one with Venus) as
- gravity assists, Galileo will have finally gathered enough speed for the last
- leg of its journey to a rendezvous with Jupiter and its moon in 1995.
-
- In celebration, the Planetary Society will sponsor a very special event
- on December 4, 1992 as a prelude to the encounter. NASA Administrator
- Daniel Goldin and Planetary Society President Carl Sagan will meet one-on-one
- in a public forum to discuss the future of planetary exploration, both here
- in the United States and with international partners. Their dialogue will be
- followed by a question and answer session to allow audience participation.
-
- Edward Stone, Director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will begin
- the evening with an update on Galileo's progress and a tribute to Mariner 2.
-
- Doors open at 7:30 PM. Free parking on Caltech campus.
-
- Tickets may be ordered by mail or phone. To order by mail, please
- enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope for return of your tickets.
