It looks like this would be a good place for us to let KNasa know what we collectively think of current policy and direction...Not that we are all of one voice, but if someone could plan on being there, I am sure we could come to a consenses on some issues:

1) Stripping Science funding to fix manned space.

2) Europa or Enceladus?

Any thoughts, volunteers unsure.gif
