So a group of us went to SpaceVision - Myself, Harvey Elliott, and Casey Keys. For those of you who don't know, SpaceVision is the annual SEDS conference. You can read about the conference by clicking here. Its a great conference for those who need a good introduction to the current happenings in space.
We got here late yesterday (11-5-2010) after driving through some snow. While we missed all of the firday sessions, we did get here in time for the after party (which, frankly, is the primary reason to go to space conferences :D ). It was good meeting up with some of the people I've met at previous conferences and events.
The sessions I saw today were
1. A Presentation on science at NASA Ames
2. A Presentation on what space will be like in 2030 (short answer - depends on who you ask)
3. A Presentation about the Orion capsule (which I did learn has a docking system that is still in flux).
4. A space policy discussion/presentation about space debris mitigation.
5. A presentation by Dr. George Nield from FAA/AST to talk about developments in Commercial Space.
Very cool stuff. Will provide more details on the way home. As will Casey & Harvey on their posts.
And we have pictures!!!
