If You’re A Space Enthusiast…

and you didn’t make it to NewSpace 2006

and you read only one blogpost about the conferences there…

make it this one:

…It’s not enough to talk to the general public in the way we talk among ourselves. …

We spacers haven’t yet learned to do this. Until we do? We’ll be in the embarassing position of doing the same thing, over and over again, and waiting for a different result. It shouldn’t take an Einstein to figure out what that leads to.

As the saying has it… read the whole thing.

    Himself may be attending, but only for business purposes.

    Sadly, the SFF tends to be exactly the sort of space activism group that *doesn’t* know how to talk to those who are not already converted.

    The biggest spacer whackballs I’ve ever run across are all involved with the SFF.
