Are you interested in Space? Could you be in Phoenix March 27th to 29th?

Space Access is having their annual Space Conference in Phoenix again. It will be from March 27th to the 29th.

I went for the first time last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I blogged extensively about the conference. You can read my thoughts and observations on Space Access 2007 by starting here.

There are lots of space conferences, maybe dozens. After my father retired he started going to them. Space Access is his favorites. One of my brothers said:

"There are lots of people thinking about getting into space. There are lots of people who talk about getting into space. Space Access is run by people who are doing the work."

If you are interested in space, if you want to see what is happening, if you want to rub shoulders with movers and shakers, and if you can be in Phoenix this year from March 27th to the 29th, then consider attending Space Access 2008.

Here is the overview of how to attend:

"SA'08 takes place Thursday afternoon March 27th through Saturday evening March 29th, 2008, at the Best Western Grace Inn in Phoenix Arizona, ten miles from the Phoenix Airport via hotel shuttle. Start thinking about booking your flights and rooms now - late March is still winter tourist (and Major League Baseball Spring Training) season in Phoenix, so affordable rooms and good airfares go fast. Our rates are the same as last year, both for conference registration ($100 advance, $120 at the door, student rate $30 either way) and hotel rooms ($99 a night, tax and full buffet breakfast included). Phone the Grace Inn at 800 843-6010 for hotel room reservations and mention "space access" for our $99 room rate. Mail checks (sorry, credit cards only at the door) for advance conference registration to "Space Access '08", 5555 N 7th st #134-348, Phoenix AZ 85014."

Here is a list of companies and people who have confirmed that they will be there:

"AFRL FAST/RASTE/Commercial Partnerships, Armadillo Aerospace, Ken Davidian/NASA ESMD Commercial Development, FAA AST, Flometrics, Frontier Astronautics, Jordin Kare/LaserMotive, Masten Space, Jim Muncy/PoliSpace, Misuzu Onuki, Rocketplane LLC, Space Propellant Depots Panel with Jon Goff, Dallas Bienhoff, Frank Zegler, and Rand Simberg, Space Studies Institute, SpeedUp, Henry Spencer, Unreasonable Rocket, XCOR Aerospace."

I will be attending again this year. It would be fun to see you there.
