Alt.Space was the Space Frontier Foundation's twelfth annual conference.
|
Wow!! SFC 12 rocked!! From Congressman Dana Rohrabacher's call for a space propulsion initiative and Shuttle Commander Richard Searfoss' prediction of an impending space tourism boom, to all the latest news from space entrepreneurs and policy makers, it was a historic conference.
Got a dot com? Building your own rocketship? Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com, Elon Musk of PayPal, and John Carmack of id Software (creator, Quake and Doom) are. Attendees of Alt.Space found out what's happening in the new space race and learned about the exciting projects now underway by the hot new space entrepreneurs and aerospace heroes like Burt Rutan, Dennis Tito and Buzz Aldrin.
Access to space is moving from the monopoly of governments and large corporations to the realm of entrepreneurs and small businesses.
This year the Space Frontier Foundation's grand annual Conference was back and better than ever, celebrating the dream of opening the space frontier. From astronauts to astronomers, politicians to pundits, engineers to entrepreneurs, this was THE space event of the year. Attendees enjoyed art shows, exhibits, debates, workshops, banquets and speakers who have the inside track on space.
Richard Searfoss, retired Airforce Colonel and former Space Shuttle Commander, addressed the 12th annual Space Frontier Foundation Conference on Saturday, October 11th. Also speaking at the Conference on Saturday was the Honorable Dana Rorhabacher, Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Space and Science. Both had important things to say about the future of commercial space. Check our Synopsis page for details on their and other speakers comments.
