“SpaceUp” to be held in San Diego
San Diego, CA – It’s an exciting time for space exploration: SpaceX is launching the first low-cost rockets, Virgin Galactic is unveiling SpaceShipTwo next week, and Bigelow Aerospace is building private habitats in orbit. These forward-thinking companies—and dozens of others just like them—are all within a day’s drive of San Diego. Which is why the San Diego Space Society is today announcing SpaceUp, the world’s first space exploration unconference, to be held in late February/early March, 2010. More information is available at SpaceUp.org.
