An interesting conference-I guess its meant to be sort of a TED conference with more space (but not necessarily NASA) cheerleaders.
The topics yesterday were not so much spaceflight as they were how to get some public interest in space.
Bob Rogers somewhat set the tone I think. He gave a particularly good talk in which he said he was immediately dismissed from Constellation when he dared to ask what Constellation's goal was, and no one in program management could provide an answer. One of the program science people there said that once Mars evaporated from the Constellation mission statement, the entire program lost direction. Rogers told some of the top NASA management who attended yesterday that they needed to be guided by the business and marketing case; but the people he was talking to are the ones who have been responsible for avoiding just this for many years.
Though pretty well organized, the conference is a bit hard to follow since the agenda is somewhat nondescript.
Most topics today seem to be about NewSpace and not real spaceflight.
Unfortunately not a lot of attendance. A few folks talking to the choir. About 85 attending yesterday at any one time; somewhat fewer here today. And only about 10 watching on-line.
