The 2nd Space Exploration Conference in Houston started off as any good conference should: with food and booze. This is a great example of how the space industry works just like any other group of people on Earth!SAIC gave several space advocacy organizations free space in their booth to set up and promote their non-profit space programs. I went to the conference as a representative for Space Gen and Yuri's Night. A special feature of being with SAIC was meeting space atrist Pat Rawlings (known for doing all of the advanced concepts sketches for NASA). They were very generous, as were Nick and Krysta Skytland (who put me up for 2 nights!).
The conference was fun, but I was too busy to get other work done! Now I am up to my ears in meetings and deadlines with a shuttle set to launch on Thursday from the Cape. Jen will be at the Range Operations center while I will be at Space View Park with the NSS chapter. If you haven't reserved a room and still need a place to crash, there are a few couches left for Thursday night.
