Join us on Saturday, August 23, 1–3 pm at the Trini Mendenhall Community Center (1414 Wirt Rd, Houston) for a rare opportunity to hear from William “Bill” Davidson, who helped shape NASA’s Flight Control Division from its earliest days. Bill’s 25-year career spanned Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Spacelab, and the ISS, and his contributions are featured in The Birth of NASA.
📍 This is a Mars Society Houston event, hosted by Richard Perwien. The North Houston Space Society is proud to support our sister chapter. (Note: this is a different location and time than NHSS’s regular meetings.)
Bring family, friends, and fellow space enthusiasts to hear firsthand stories from the people who built the space program.

About Us
NSS North Houston Space Society is a chapter of the National Space Society (NSS) and is governed by the chapter bylaws. Our vision is “People living and working in thriving communities beyond the Earth, and the use of the vast resources of space for the dramatic betterment of humanity.” If you share this vision, please join us. (If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to our chapter president Nathan Price by email at Nathan.Price@gmail.com or phone 832-620-6385.
We are working to achieve this vision through our monthly meetings where we seek to educate the community about the potential of space, the current activities going on to achieve the promise of space, and to inspire people of all ages. Our meetings are usually the second Saturday of each month at 2 PM at the Barbara Bush Library.
NSS North Houston Space Society had its first meeting in January 2018 at the home of Nathan Price who serves as the chapter president. The chapter has had meetings every month since then except one.
In 2018, our chapter was recognized as the “Outstanding New Chapter USA 2018”.
Over the months our meeting attendance has fluctuated, but generally it has grown.
Starting with our May 2019 meeting, we moved to the Barbara Bush Library which has given us a room with the capacity for 70 people.
We have had engineers, scientists, space lawyers, space investors, visionaries, entrepreneurs, and others speak at our meetings discussing all aspects of space.
Our group includes people from a wide variety of fields including engineers, programmers, scientists, writers, and people in all sorts of fields. It is a friendly, welcoming group. And we look forward to seeing you at our next meeting.
