Heading off to NewSpace

I’ll be travelling to Las Vegas later today to attend the NewSpace 2006 conference run by the Space Frontier Foundation, as well as some other activities. Some space tourism-related highlights of the upcoming conference:

• Thursday: Constellation Services International and Space Adventures will be providing updates about their lunar mission plans.
• Friday: Robert Bigelow will deliver the keynote, several vehicle companies will provide updates on their developments, and there will be a business plan competition.
• Saturday: A session on spaceports and another on the mass media.
• Sunday: A session on spaceflight and personal risk and a concluding issue on everyone’s favorite topic, sex in space.

If you’re at the conference, be sure to say hi.
