Lift Off: Book Signing and Aerospace Stories with Author Richard Jurmain

Local residents and visitors are invited to an afternoon of science, storytelling, and imagination at Lift Off: Book Signing & Aerospace Stories, featuring St. John resident, rocket scientist, entrepreneur, and author Richard Jurmain.

The event takes place on Saturday, Jan. 10, at 4 p.m. at Bajo el Sol Gallery & Art Bar. Jurmain will share firsthand stories from his remarkable career, including work in NASA Space Shuttle mission control, advanced aerospace programs, and the early development of what would become the modern space tourism industry. In addition to the talk, Jurmain will sign copies of his science fiction novels, Deus Ex Offing Machina and Apocalypse du jour, which blend real aerospace experience with imaginative, thought-provoking storytelling.

To complement the evening’s theme, Bajo el Sol Gallery & Art Bar will feature creative, sci-fi-inspired cocktails and mocktails, designed especially for the event.
