Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking at the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in San Jose, California. The three day event focuses on the current, near term, and future potential and challenges of the emerging commercial space industry. The photo above was from a collection of models made by an attendee. Very cool stuff.

I spoke about how the Military, Commercial, and Civil (NASA, etc...) industries could work together in a panel called "Integrating the Vision." The coolest part of my panel was sharing the stage with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , former NASA astronauts who holds the record for the longest spaceflight of any American.

Another cool thing about my trip was a surprise in the morning. I drove in late at night and didn't notice what was around my hotel. When I was eating breakfast I saw the Tesla Factory out the window. I drove over and took this picture (I could've easily gone through the gate to get a better pic, but I like the fenced in look).

Ha! My sons are both playing the Beta. I'll get my crack at it today. I hope.

I will. We need to fundraise for Ryan, Tony, Raph, and Pete so they can get Xbox Ones.

I talked Neil into getting one before GTA V drops on the xbone, so we're one step closer. I think if we could get Pete and Raph the others will come.

Can we please convince them somehow? Also, on topic... I'm very jealous.
