Next Century of Flight Space Imperatives (NCFSI)
December 18, 2003
Reagan International Trade Center

Aviation Week and ShareSpace will co-host a one day conference to consider out-of-the-box ideas for advancing human space flight and an action plan for taking the next steps. Featuring special guest appearances by 10 of the original Apollo lunar astronauts, the conference will bring together current government and industry space leaders, innovative entrepreneurs and inventors, academicians and others dedicated to re-inventing human space flight.

Honored Apollo Astronaut Guests confirmed to date include Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Gene Cernan, Charlie Duke, Dick Gordon, Ken Mattingly, Ed Mitchell, Harrison “Jack” Schmitt, Dave Scott and John Young. Additional speakers of note scheduled to appear include futurist Alvin Toffler, NASA architect Gary Martin and Chairman Bob Walker of the Commission on the Future of Aerospace.

Following the Symposium, attendees will be polled on the space flight methodologies and alternatives presented. Poll results and a wrap-up supplement of the Symposium will be published in a forthcoming issue of Aviation Week & Technology. A television special highlighting aspects of NCFSI is currently in development with the Discovery Channel.
