Guests: ISDC Taped Interviews #2 with Sarah Pickens, Dr. Burton Lee, Frank White, David Beaver, Jeff Krukin, and Keith Ferrell. This is the second set of taped interviews from ISDC 2008 in Washington, DC. The three taped interviews are played back to back without breaks but there is a slight pause between each one. The first interview is with Sarah Pickens, daughter of Tim Pickens.

This program is the X Prize Cup 2007 series of interviews readied for the Sunday, Oct. 28, 2007 Space Show. In addition to the introduction to this special program, there are five separate interview tracks/panel discussions. They run continuously for about 2.5 hours without a break. However, you will know when each interview ends as the guest or the panel is appropriately thanked and the next guest or panel is introduced.

This is the set of interviews selected from those attending the Personal Space Flight Symposium in Las Cruces, NM. In the following order, you will hear first Jeff Krukin, Executive Director of the Space Frontier Foundation make an important announcement. After Jeff, Reda Anderson serves as co-host in a discussion with Sam Ximenes, President of Exploration Architecture Corporation regarding their upcoming part in the development of Spaceport America.

Jeff Krukin returned for this Space Show program and to turn the tables on me by interviewing me for The Space Show. He did a superb job as a guest host of The Space Show and I hope all of you enjoy this change of pace program. I commend Jeff for his great idea and enthusiasm to do this type of program. I know you the listeners will find it interesting, informative and entertaining. During the first segment of the show, Jeff brought us up to date with the Space Frontier Foundation and the coming SFF conference in the Washington, DC area from July 18-21, 2007.

Jeff Krukin, Executive Director of the Space Frontier Foundation (SFF) was with us today to talk about their important new White Paper. The White Paper, "Unaffordable and Unsustainable? Signs of Failure in NASA's Earth-to-orbit Transportation Strategy," is available for download at http://www.space-frontier.org/Presentations/UnaffordableUnsustainable.p…. This paper puts fourth four recommendations by SFF to change current NASA policy regarding the VSE.

Jeff Krukin returned to The Space Show (SFF) to update us all on the new Space Frontier Foundation. During this program, Jeff, who is the Executive Director for SFF, spoke about the new projects being undertaken by SFF including the New Space 2006 conference scheduled for Las Vegas in July of this year. This conference has combined the previous SFF Return to the Moon Conference and the former annual fall conference into one larger conference which is now designated New Space 2006.

Jeff Krukin, the new Space Frontier Foundation (SFF) Executive Director, was the guest on this edition of The Space Show. Mr. Krukin spoke about new position with the Foundation and outlined new goals and programming for this year for the Space Frontier Foundation. In response to several questions from listeners, he went into detail about how the Foundation views issues and works to support an issue in alignment with its goals and mission. Listeners asked him about extracting favors for the SFF agenda in turn for the support SFF has given issues important to Congress.
