AAS National Conference

AAS National Conference and Annual Meeting - American Astronautical Society - As expected there are lots of good talks planned for this one, too. It's on November 17-19. Of special interest on this blog are the prize personalities, which appear in the Space Entrepreneurs section of the program:

10:00 Session 5: Space Entrepreneurs

Moderator: Paul Eckert, International & Commercial Strategist, Boeing IDS – Space Exploration, The Boeing Company

Panelists:

Thomas C. Taylor, Vice President, Lunar Transportation Systems, Inc.
Robert D. Richards, CEO, Odyssey Moon Limited
John Kohut, CEO, Astrobotic Technology Inc.

I've discussed the 2 Google Lunar X PRIZE teams numerous times, and today I want to take a look at the others:

Lunar Transportation Systems - This is founded by Walter Kistler and Bob Citron.

Honeybee Robotics - This is a quite different type of space entrepreneur.
