SpaceRef had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson at the 28th National Space Symposium in Colorado Springs. The conversation centered around his idea of doubling NASA's budget as it would spur innovation and fuel the economy. We will also discussed his latest book, Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier.
This podcast was recorded on July 10th at the bi-monthly meeting of the Canadian Space Commerce Association in Toronto. The featured guest speaker at the meeting was Jean-Marc Chouinard a veteran at the Canadian Space Agency who is Head of Policy and Regulatory Affairs. In his first public talk on today's topic, he discusses the United Nations Working Group on the Long-Term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities. The Canadian Space Agency feels that it is very important Canadians be engaged in this UN activity, as it will affect them in the future. The Canadian Space Agency will be soliciting input from Canadians this fall in preparation to submit Canada's input into a final UN report and guidelines that will be published in 2014. Accompanying documents can be found on the SpaceRef Canada web site.
