I'll just include parts of the 2nd one:

Team Conrad is both fortunate and proud to announce that Major General Charles Frank "Charlie" Bolden, Jr., USMC (retired) will host our next Live Video Chat Series on January 6, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. PST., 5:00 EST. Bolden will share his experience and in-depth knowledge of personal spaceflight.

Bolden is a retired U.S. Marine Corps officer who served from 1981 to 1994 as an astronaut in the United States' space program.

Bolden, a veteran of four space flights, has logged over 680 hours in space on the Columbia, Discovery, and Atlantis Space Shuttle missions.
