We're in the process of posting everything we have to the wiki at http://wiki.spaceup.org . I'm also redesigning this site so it includes SpaceUps planned for other cities, too. The wiki will be more prominently linked from here when that happens.

Hey, this sounds awesome, but you guys don't have what you talked about in the "unconference". Are there slides you can post?

Nathan Hubbard (@n8foo) wrote down the @names of everyone in the twittererers session, if that's the list you mean.

I also kept the @SpaceUpConf/attendees list (http://twitter.com/SpaceUpC... up-to-date until Friday, and I'll leave it up for a little while so you can follow people individually.

There was talk of an 'official' SpaceUp twitterererers list, any tips on where that will be placed?

I had an amazing time this weekend folks- huge congrats on the conference, and I am really looking forward to the next one!

Coming from Oceanside, a little early on Saturday to help with setup. Who needs a ride? Better yet, who can give me a ride so I can enjoy more Airdale.

I found several sites that may be of interest regarding point to point. Not sure if this long link will work for you.

Even with the proposed changes at NASA, there will probably still continue to be many space related/enabled enterprises still struggling for funding. What can be done to help foster and encourage investment into space related start ups.

Ideas to kick around and maybe discuss incoude for profit micro-funds( http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... and web initiatives like kickstarter ( http://www.kickstarter.com/).

There could be new method that's not even being considered.

Yes, by all means find whatever hotel works for you. The Sheraton Suites is just a recommendation from the Museum; there are no minimums we need to meet.

Re: Hotel and Logistics

andycochrane — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 10:31:43 -0000

If you still need to reserve a room, there are a few hotels with rates under $40/night within a mile or two of the Museum. The Sheraton Suites price has risen to over $140/night with taxes etc. at this point.

This is a good time to reevaluate why we go to space and how we can make it practical. I made a presentation for the Space Tourism Society called the 2050 plan which discusses the technologies needed to make living in space easier. Examples include: Interplanetary Internet (thanks to Vint Cerf), Orbital refueling stations, hospitals, hotels, mining robots, and more! It's all together in a master plan for settling the solar system!

It's funny you should mention this right now, as look-see what's up on http://www.nasa.gov/open/sp... It's unlikely Robbie will be at SpaceUp, but definitely NASA, in their own words, "plans have a forum there [at SpaceUp] to get contributions and feedback on the Open Government Plan during the two-day event."

SD Space is starting a local project called the Space Activities Lab. The goal is to help students form teams to enter the challenges and competitions that have become so popular in the space community. We'll work with local schools, funding organizations, STEM education resources, and space companies to support the teams.
I'd like to have an open session about previous attempts at the same thing (successful or not), ideas for resources, and tips for getting the project off the ground. Locals who are interested in participating should also stop by.

I do not know them, but would be interested to hear their thoughts for sure!

In line with the Open Government Directive ( http://www.nasa.gov/open/ ) I think that we should have at least one session on how can NASA engage the public by sharing data, information, and knowledge in new and exciting ways. Although it can be very innovative, NASA is a very be bureaucratic as well, and so I think we need to think of some ideas that will engage the public but actually work on a wide scale within NASA.

What organizations are the attendees from?
