COMSTAC & more
A couple of quick items: First, the Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Committee, yes, COMSTAC, will meet on Tuesday, October 25, 2005 (working groups) and Wednesday, October 26, 2005 (full committee) at FAA Headquarters in Washington. Here's the agenda for October 26.
And across town, also on Oct. 26, the National Academy of Sciences is hosting a free public seminar, "Space Settlement: Homesteading on the Moon?," covering lunar property rights issues under international treaties and "the role of such ownership as an incentive for commercial space settlement."
(Of course, if you're stuck at home or just feeling reclusive, you can always just sit back and lurk on, say, a Slashdot thread about space tourism. Bring your own refreshments.)
