Guests: Berin Michael Szoka and Will Watson were the guests for this Space Show program. We talked about the new direction and board in place for the Space Frontier Foundation (SFF) and the focus on Web 2.0 for mastering and maximizing the Foundation's vision. This discussion is appropriate for more than just SFF because it puts forth a general plan for how organizations are redefining themselves for the times we are in and the new forms of communication and staying in contact being used by people of all ages, interests, and cultures.

Berin Michael Szoka returned to The Space Show to discuss in depth ITAR and strategies for reforming the ITAR regime. This is an exceptionally interesting program that not only goes into the history of ITAR but offers concrete, thoughtful solutions to the problems ITAR presents to the entire space community. I urge each of you to listen to Berin and contact him for further information and to see how you can help in effecting policy change with Congress.

This Space Show program featured the first ever Space Property Rights Legal Panel with Wayne White, Rosanna Sattler, Jim Dunstan, and Berin Michael Szoka.

This is an in-depth discussion you will not want to miss.
