John spent significant time during this program talking about the various space solar power programs, speakers and projects. He also focused on various technologies, especially as proposed by launchers, SpaceX, RocketLab and others. John spent time on the ISS and hopefully soon to be private space stations. Don't miss what was said about this eventuality at the conference.
Space policy was a big part of what John talked about, including space solar power policy. John mentioned NASA’s new Office of Technology Policy, and Strategy and its upcoming study that will evaluate SSP to determine if it makes sense from a policy and strategy standpoint. At one point he said those advocating for SSP compared the progress being made with progress with fusion energy. In addition, he said Public Private Partnerships (PPP) were likely the path forward for these new programs and projects, including Artemis. The cislunar economy was talked about in private networking sessions along with the need to determine the gravity prescription for settlement, something John talks in favor of doing on Space Show programs.
John focused in a an evening talk given by Jeff Greason on overall space policy. John said that Jeff talked about why we go to space, property, technology development, the PPP approach and more. John was impressed by Jeff's talk and he suggested that if it is made available online, all of us should watch it.
For Day 2, John talked about commercial LEO development and the panel on the subject. RocketLab was the featured speaker at the lunch that day where the speaker mentioned working with Varda Space and others. Don't miss his summary comments. John then told us about the NASA HUNCH Program for outreach to high school students for making hardware, software, and more for the ISS. Next, John mentioned a talk by Loretta Hall on sleeping in space and what we know about space sleep requirements and challenges. Loretta will soon be back on The Space Show to discuss her work. Before ending our program, John commented on additional ISDC programming and speakers.
