  and its filled with the people at NASA and the various companies that everyone here either loves or hates. There's a whole session just on SpaceX.

  Those times are off by an hour, it's 8am - 6pm Pacific Daylight Time, which translates to 11am EDT / 15 UTC.

• I will try and catch the Spacex session. Really want to see if they mention anything new.

• I'm hoping they archive it too - I won't be able to watch it all live but am looking forward to whatever I can find...

• We'll work on the archive like we did last year. Problem is that neither Cariann nor myself are able to attend in person and instead we're sending a proxy and our gear. If he remembers to grab the archives we should be golden. If not, I have a backup plan, but that doesn't always work. We'll do our best though.

  Sounds like a plan!

• Predictable me, noticed "Mark Sirangelo Chairman, Sierra Nevada Space Systems" for some Dream Chaser hugging.
  
  Bob Cabana for some KSC promoting. Max Vozoff is always good.
  
  Are you going to the event Jon?

  Well, I'm representing one of the five competitors in the business plan competition, so I probably ought to go... ;-)

  I'll be cheering you on! Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women!

• Interesting talk by ULA on secondary payloads... most interesting to me was the proposed mod of the secondary payload adapter into a solar-electric third stage which would make it possible to inject the secondary payload at almost any kind of orbit (and send many different secondary payloads to different orbits per launch... single-launch nearly-Orbcomm-like constellation as a secondary payload?), including escape.
  Started a thread about it here: http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=26232.msg784932#msg784932 (please add any more information if you know any!)
• #13 by Robotbeat on 28 Jul, 2011 20:56
• Good talk by Charles Miller, Senior Advisor (sp) for Commercial Space, NASA.
  Talked about the background of NACA, why it was founded, the Wright Brothers, etc.
  
  Is the video archived somewhere?

  The biggest problem for secondary payloads has always been schedule. The technical stuff is minor.

• Been seeing news clips from this on twitter all day. Very interesting stuff!

  What do you mean by that? Do you mean that the secondary payload is held up by the primary (and possibly vice versa!)?

  Looks like a good stream and set up, even on my rubbish PC

• I couldn't keep the feed running smooth enough to actually follow the discussions. Gotta love Verizon's network, all I can get here in the countryside
