Summary
Space Cafe Tokyo brings a space talk and drinks to Good Heavens British Bar in Shimokitazawa. This edition is timed one week before Japan's Mio spacecraft begins exploring Mercury after an eight-year cruise.
Dr. Yudai "Rye" Suzuki, a researcher at ISAS/JAXA who studies surface-exosphere interactions of Mercury and comets, will introduce the open questions about Mercury, what the mission hopes to learn, and his view as a young researcher on the front lines. Doors open at 19:30 and the talk starts at 20:00. Tickets are 1,500 yen at the door, cash only, including a first drink.
