Space policy made a pretty decent splash at Netroots Nation. We had an excellent panel on space policy, and an excellent platform meeting. For those of you who don't remember, we had Andrew Hoppin moderating, and Chris Bowers, Lori Garver, Patricia Grace Smith, and George Whitesides all speaking. You can about the panelists here.

Hi all-
I'm live-blogging just for you from the Netroots Nation convention in Austin, Texas, whoo hoo! I'd like to try my best to share any info that would help our group, if you have any questions on anything I write, please put them in the comments. If you'd like to see where I'm at, go to http://netrootsnation.org/agenda-2008
Yes, we party a bit, but only between a lot of great learning and organizing for progressive causes. This being a major election year (maybe one of the most important in recent history) there is a big focus on the presidential and congressional elections.
More on the other side...
Hey Everyone,
I figured now would be a good time to remind everyone (again) about some upcoming space events, that would be worth going to. We have a couple of major events this week, as well as future events upcoming. I promise reports to any and all I attend, and I suggest that you attend as well
