The Space Foundation Conference

Feedback: What did you think of this show?: 

Guest: Dallas Bienhoff. Dallas Bienhoff returned to The Space Show in order to update us and provide new information on the possibility of orbital fuel depots. This important discussion takes up the first segment of the show because such a depot would be applicable for returning to the Moon, visiting a NEO, going to Mars, or focusing on Earth imaging if that is the direction the next administration prefers when it takes office in January 2009. You will want to pay careful attention to what Dallas tells us about orbiting fuel depots, their private sector possibilities, the need for them to be a part of commercial space and much more. During the second segment, we examined lunar surface commercial possibilities. We covered many possibilities, including the most commonly talked about, mining He3 from the lunar surface. Again, you need to listen to what Dallas shares with us. You will hear the focus on commercial, and not government, space programs. As for the current controversy regarding the VSE and should we return to the Moon, should we visit a NEO, or should we go to Mars, Dallas clearly outlines why the Moon is essential. However, he points out that going to the Moon to stay does not mean it needs to be as part of a government program. Hear him out, please. In our final segment, we went back and forth with the earlier topics, but we also focused on space solar power. Dallas was part of the team which produced the NSSO report, so what he has to say is very important. Are we ready to take space solar power prime time, even politically prime time? Listen and find out. If you want to continue a dialogue with Dallas, ask him follow up questions, or share comments with him, please do so through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.
