16 Jan *Postponed* Celebrate Exploration! with Stephen Hawking and Buzz
THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED. IT WILL BE RESCHEDULED.
Dear Friends,
It is with regret that The Planetary Society must cancel the event “Stephen Hawking and Buzz Aldrin: Celebrate Exploration!”
Dr. Hawking has been advised by his doctors not to fly at this time. He is well?nd still working in his office in the UK?ut he’s unable to travel to California.
But Dr. Hawking wishes to accept the Cosmos Award in person, and we are now coordinating with his office to choose the time and place at which to present it to him. When there’s a new plan, we’ll let you know the details.
In the meantime, we’re still gathering birthday wishes for Buzz Aldrin to present to him in honor of his 80th birthday. We’re making a giant birthday card to include everyone’s best wishes. If you haven’t already, you can send your message to Buzz online.
Thank you for your support of The Planetary Society. Please continue to watch our web site for the latest information and revised plans for the Cosmos Award presentation to Dr. Hawking and the birthday greetings to Buzz Aldrin.
Best regards,Louis Friedman
