Personal Spaceflight Symposium

Dr. Pat Hynes was the guest for this Space Show program to discuss the upcoming Personal Spaceflight Symposium in Las Cruces, NM from Oct. 24-25, 2007 (http://spacegrant.nmsu.edu/isps/index.html). We began our discussion with an overview of the Symposium as well as X-Prize Cup. Dr. Hynes and I then discussed the speakers, topics, and agenda in detail. This is a power packed program with great speakers and topics so not only will you want to hear about it on this program, you will want to attend this program. Listeners asked Dr.

Joan Horvath returned to The Space Show to discuss her new book, "Saturn: A New View." We started the discussion with a short review of the Personal Spaceflight Symposium and the X Prize Cup held last week in Las Cruces, NM. After returning from the first break, Joan talked with us about the book, the cooperation involved to put it together, the amazing photos used in it and the editing process to put the photos and book together. We then discussed the VSE, NASA, JPL, science funding and programming, science education in the United States and more.
