 | Johnson Space Center Astronomical Society (JSCAS)
- The club that started it all! I attended my first Johnson Space
Center Astronomical Society meeting in December of 1997 in hopes to
re-spark a childhood passion of mine. It was made clear in the
begining that in order to join this club you only had to show up.
No dues, no by laws, just have a passion for astronomy. Seems to
work since this club has been around since May 29th, 1967. |
