Stealthy National Space Council Meeting WiIl Have a Flashy Reception

Keith's note: NASA and other agencies have issued zero media advisories. Multiple people have been confirmed as being members of the NSpC's Users' Advisory Group - yet none have been named publicly. A large reception sponsored and paid for by the major aerospace organizations and all of the major aerospace companies is planned during the meeting - yet no official public mention has been made of this event (you are not invited, BTW). No mention is made on any NASA website or by other sponsoring agencies including the White House. No word yet as to whether this highly-staged event will even be televised for taxpayers to observe or if news media will be allowed to attend. Monday is a Federal holiday so don't expect a lot of updates.

Dear Elon, There's a #SpaceX #FalconHeavy side booster epically double-parked at @ExploreSpaceKSC in front of Atlantis today, in case you (or another @Tesla roadster, or maybe the @usairforce) need a ride. pic.twitter.com/kpjYuJq5Dj — Michael Seeley (@Mike_Seeley) February 18, 2018
