Anybody going to the International Space University's Space Studies Program astronaut panel, which will be held at Kennedy Space Center on July 11, 2012?
The Astronaut Panel is a longstanding highlight in SSP sessions. The objective is to give the participants a direct occasion to ask a broad range of questions to a number of astronauts in an interactive mode. The astronauts are selected on the basis of different backgrounds (medical, piloting, engineering, scientific), which allows for a broad variety of complementary answers. The Panel provides different insights and opinions, especially comparing intensive short-duration flights with long duration stay on board space stations (such as MIR and ISS).

Astronaut Panelists:

  • Ken Bowersox
  • Nicole Stott
  • Jim Voss
  • Winston Scott
  • Garrett Reisman
  • Kent Rominger
  • Chiaki Mukai
Moderator: Robert Cabana

According to Florida Today, the panel is open to the public. But I would double-check (if it is, and you're going, let me know!)

Who: Veteran U.S. astronauts Kent Rominger, Jim Voss, Nicole Stott, Winston Scott, Garrett Reisman, Ken Bowersox and Chiaki Mukai of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Kennedy Space Center Director Robert Cabana, also a veteran astronaut, will moderate a panel discussion.

I saw they're having a lecture tonight on the future of space exploration and a lot of astronauts are going to be there to talk about it. Among them are astronauts like Stott, Bowersox, Voss and Mukai.

If any of you attend tonight, let me know how it is! I was sad I was unable to attend tonight.
