Science-Fiction Conventions
Looks like NASA is going to have an official presence at Comic Con in San Diego this year:
NASA Landing at Comic-Con with Panel on Mars Plans
"Moderated by actor Seth Green, the panel will include (Buzz) Aldrin, NASA Planetary Science Division Director Jim Green, Jet Propulsion Laboratory systems engineer Bobak Ferdowsi, and NASA astronaut Mike Fincke."
I will also be speaking as an official guest of Dragon*Con in Atlanta again this year.

D*C is the largest sci-fi convention in the southeast and draws over 60,000 attendees over the four day event Labor Day weekend. While there is over 3,500 hours of scheduled programming, it is not all make-believe fun. The Space and Science tracks host serious talks ranging from amateur astronomy, breakthrough physics, space commercialization, and the status of NASA science missions. I will have a presentation in the Space track on our NIAC project as well as a panel talk on the "Science of Star Wars".
Hope you see you in Atlanta!
