On February 18 – 20, in my home town of Boulder, Colorado, the Lunar and Planetary Institute is holding a very interesting conference called The Next-Generation Suborbital Researchers Conference 2010<\/a> (NSRC2010). It’s to promote the awareness of the coming revolution in access to space provided by private companies. <\/p>\n

This revolution is not only coming, it’s practically here. I know some folks who plan quite seriously to be launched into space next year<\/em>. If you’re interested in this field, then this is the conference you want to attend:<\/p>\n

\n

NSRC2010 will provide a forum to learn about the research and EPO [Education and Public Outreach] capabilities of these new systems, their experiments, and EPO integration processes. NSRC2010 will also provide input on vehicle design requirements for science and education. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That sounds like a fascinating meeting to me. I’m hoping to attend myself, but I’m unsure if I’ll be in town then; I’ll know more soon and let y’all know here. I really<\/em> want to go; a lot of solid people are running this, including my friends Alan Stern<\/a> and Dan Durda<\/a>, as well as many other space scientists. Sponsors include Virgin Galactic, the United Launch Alliance, and Space X! So we’re talking serious contenders here.<\/p>\n

I hope to see some BABloggees there. The future of space travel may very well be in our hands, and this meeting will help put it there.<\/p>\n
