Moon Capital: A Commercial Gateway to the Moon
On 21 September 2010, the Moon Capital Competition will accept entries for the architectural design of an international and commercial lunar habitation. One category is "Let's Get Serious" and another is "Let's Have Fun". The French-California Connection – Innovation Clusters!
The French government recently established several regional economic development clusters, one being the Aerospace Valley in SE France. It includes a wide range of enterprises, government R&D facilities, universities and research institutes broadly related to aerospace and often-associated “green technologies”. A large French delegation, hosted by the California Space Authority, came to California to discuss potential collaborations and tour relevant organizations and facilities across the State. Significant follow-on activities are proposed.
Commercial SubOrbital Science: A Game-Changer for Micro-g R&D
Commercially-provided suborbital access can be part of a renewed NASA and other government agency commitment to advancing safe, innovative, affordable and sustainable micro-g research. It can also provide hands-on education/training for the next generation of students and space researchers.
It's the REAL THING
The community that gathered at the ISPCS Symposium confirms that personal and commercial spaceflight are truly coming.
