This is a reminder that the very cool conference SpaceFest 2007 is August 17-19. I just looked over the website, and the list of guests has lengthened, with more astronauts, and -- this is very cool -- Joe Kittinger. Who?, you may ask. Hee hee. Read all about him, and be amazed. I'll be there, fawning over the astronauts and giving my Moon Hoax talk. It'll be great fun! Here's my original post about SpaceFest. Also, Fraser Cain of Universe Today has put up the latest Carnival of Space. Lots of good reading there. So go read them!
