Meet Former NASA Astronaut Mark Polansky. Former NASA astronaut Mark Polansky joins us to share his experiences as a veteran of three different space flights, on the Atlantis, Discovery, and Endeavour missions; and has logged more than 993 hours in space. Polansky joined NASA in 1992 and served in multiple roles, including aerospace engineer, research pilot and Director of Operations at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia. After a presentation on his last space flight, Mr. Polansky will have some time to mingle with the audience and answer questions.

This is your monthly chance to connect with other curious scientific minds over a beer—or two—and take part in an in-depth discussion about important scientific topics. The Fleet partners with local bars and scientists to bring you an evening with a fun-yet-informative presentation, which kicks off an extended discussion between the scientist and the audience­­—all while the audience drinks along.
