LEAD meeting at UMD today and tomorrow!

For those in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metro areas:

The Robotic and Human Lunar Exploration Strategic Roadmap Committee, which is the one that is considering the various scenarios for how we actually explore the Moon in the long term is having a meeting today and tomorrow to talk about those proposals. And the public is allowed to attend. So if you are in the Washington, D.C/Baltimore metro area and you have the time, take some time off today or tomorrow and stop by. You never know how much things like that can help tilt a committee in the right direction.

Update: After making it through the agenda to the very end I noticed this nice footnote:

bq.

• Commercial Subcommittee includes the following:

• Jeff Taylor, University of Hawaii (chair)

• Rick Tumlinson, Space Frontier Foundation

• David Gump, TransformSpace

• Tom Taylor, Lunar Transportation Systems, Inc.

• Jim Muncy, PoliSpace

So the right people are there, the question becomes whether or not they'll be listend too.
