Following the film and the after discussion there was a reception in the museum’s Hall of Geology, Gems and Minerals.
Many VIP guests stayed to enjoy the reception, including Dr. Ken Ferguson, COO of National Geographic Television and a member of the premiere’s host committee.
Congressman John Culberson of Texas (left, Richards center, Gonzalez right) enjoyed the film, the reception and — as an amateur astronomer — especially getting to discuss the hypothesis of The Privileged Planet with the book’s authors.
Richards and Gonzalez enjoyed socializing with all the guests at the reception.
