10/20/2010 - 10/22/2010 International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight 8:30am-5pm, New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum, 4100 Dripping Springs Road, Las Cruces The International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight (ISPCS-2010) features superior speakers and high-quality sessions. Characterizing our industry is the focus of ISPCS-2010. The future of the global commercial space industry requires us to bring to fruition ideas which have been talked about for years. People created the space industry and they created the challenge. The challenge is to deliver products and services to keep commercial space industry growing. Some of the early visionaries are ready to retire from government service. They may work with today's visionaries. They are interested in creating a market. They are interested in delivering leaner, capabilities driven, technically-competitive products and services for this market. One thing is certain: change is coming. We are going to increase access to space for mankind. ISPCS is where the leaders of commercial spaceflight business meet, listen, talk, collaborate and set the pace for their next steps. On Friday, the closing event of Space Week in New Mexico, attendees can join in the Spaceport America Runway Dedication and witness the long-distance capture-carry of Virgin Galactic's WhiteKnightTwo and SpaceShipTwo. Plan to be there for this historic event, when these state-of-the art vehicles pass over their eventual home base and operations center at Spaceport America. Join us. This is not to be missed!
