Anousheh Ansari at FAA/AST
Patti Smith and her crew at the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation (AST) always start the new year right. The 10th Annual Commercial Space Transportation Conference is on for February 6-7, 2007, at the Sheraton Crystal City Hotel in Arlington, VA. (Wow. 10th already?)This year's focus, "Space Transportation -- Competing in a Global Market."
And the big news, Anousheh Ansari is confirmed as keynote speaker. (Patti mentioned this when I saw her in New York recently. Patti has a lot of friends.) Awesome.
And more on conference agenda, etc. to come. (Lots of lawyers are always on hand. I'm sure this won't bother Anousheh. She has conquered space, a few lawyers are no problem.)
Arrive for this hot and ever-growing FAA/AST event via whatever mode of transport you choose -- car, train, bus, scooter, teleport, jet or, if permitted, your own personal rocketship. Be there, or be grounded.
