The Next 50 Years in Space
I was going through the emails I'd gotten as a part of my subscription to the Space Generation Advisory Council mailing list and I came across the following nifty offer:
The planning workshop will including prominent individuals such as Freeman Dyson, Elon Musk and Dr Harrison Schmitt, will be held in conjunction with a conference titled, "The Future of Space Exploration: Solutions to Earthly Problems?"
Travel expenses will be covered for two young people to attend the conference and participate in the Saturday planning workshop by representing the input gathered in this process. The processing of the input and preperation of its results will be opened to the youth community, and two individuals will be selected from the top contributors to this work.
I've signed up for it, of course, because even if I don't get chosen as a delegate, I think it'll be great to contribute to a serious discussion of where we're headed in terms of space exploration. Discussions like this happen very often among space enthusiasts, but not many of those discussions get noticed. This is a chance for our ideas to be heard by the right people and worked with. This is not the only motivation for one to join, however. If you think about it, this is a chance for those who hope to follow a space-related career to open up new horizons for themselves in the industry. It is an exciting prospect, to say the least.
Those who are interested in contributing their ideas for the future of space exploration can sign up here, and fill out the survey here, More people filling out the survey means that there will be a greater range of ideas for discussion, which in turn will result in a richer presentation for the symposium. The success of this symposium may mean the organization of more, and more is definitely good.

Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, the Boston University Center for Space Physics and the Secure World Foundation, invites input from young space enthusiasts 29 or under to contribute to planning the next 50 years in space.The planning workshop will including prominent individuals such as Freeman Dyson, Elon Musk and Dr Harrison Schmitt, will be held in conjunction with a conference titled, "The Future of Space Exploration: Solutions to Earthly Problems?"
