> NASA and the SpaceWorld Foundation invite you to a kick-off celebration for
> the SpaceWorld/NASA agreement to create SpaceWorld at NASA.
>
> Date: March 16, 2006
> Time: 7:30 PM
> Place: NASA/Ames Research Center, Building 943, Eagle Room. (This is in the
> complex at the entrance to Moffett Field, just off Moffett Blvd. Turn right
> at the stop sign just before the Moffett Field entry gate.)
> Free to the Public
>
> The highlight of the evening will be a talk by Seth Shostak of SETI,
> entitled "When One World is Not Enough: The Conquest of the Solar System."
>
> We will also describe the plans for SpaceWorld at NASA, and show pictures of
> the planned facility. After the presentation, we will open the Ames
> Exploration Center (future home of SpaceWorld at NASA) for you to visit.
>
> If you haven't heard Dr. Shostak speak before, you're in for a real treat,
> as he's a very entertaining and informative speaker. His talk will discuss
> the
> exploration and mapping of the solar system, and its consequences for
> humans.
>
> Lecture Synopsis: We are part of a generation that will do something that no
> previous generation could do, and no future generation will have to:
> transform our solar system from a barely known frontier into familiar
> territory, both
> mapped and explored. In this, we are like the Spaniards at the beginning of
> the 16th century. Within four decades, they went from discovering America to
> colonizing its shores. We will do the same for our solar system, but what
> does
> that bode for Homo sapiens? Will discovery and cartography soon give way to
> colonization and exploitation? In his talk, Dr. Shostak will discuss the
> possibilities of 21st century forays into the nearby realms of space.
>
> Speaker: Dr. Shostak is Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute. He is a
> frequent presenter of the Institute's work in the media, through lectures,
> and
> hosts SETI's weekly radio show, "Are We Alone?" He readily translates the
> most
> complex scientific discoveries into terms accessible to the non-scientist.
> His technical expertise, quick wit, and engaging personality make him a
> sought-after speaker and writer.
>
> Volunteers: We could use some volunteers to help with set-up beforehand,
> clean-up afterwards, serving refreshments, and other tasks. If you are
> interested in helping, please send us an email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

"Whoever does go back to the moon will be led not by politicians and
bureaucrats, but by visionaries and entrepreneurs. I just hope I'm
around to work on such a mission."
