Yet Another Stealth Space Policy Meeting

Keith's note: If you search for "Space Entrepreneurship Conference USC Marshall" you get this link but if you go there, it says "404 - Page Not Found". If you go to the events page at USC Marshall there is no mention of this event. Greg Autry, who was fired by the Trump NASA Transition Team, has taught at USC Marshall. Yet another example of choir practice in an echo chamber by the usual suspects out of reach of the people who actually pay for the all the shiny space things. This whole National Space Council thing lacks transparency and simply rubber stamps things done behind the scenes, out of sight of the rest of us. And NASA is complicit in the way that these things are being done.

Excited to be hosting the first Southern California Commercial Spaceflight Initiative #SCCSI workshop day at @USCGreif , @USCMarshall ! pic.twitter.com/Ts4XC4JOw3 — Greg Autry (@GregWAutry) November 4, 2018

Curious there are things the Director of National Space Council would say at a public Commercial Space conference, but unwilling to have it reported on for others. — Alan Ladwig (@SpaceArtAl) November 4, 2018

This meeting, as I understand it, was by invitation only, and not open to the general public. — Jeff Foust (@jeff_foust) November 4, 2018

Doesn't pass the sniff test. So only those people "invited" receive the information. Why? What makes them so special? Whatever Pace has to convey ought to be public domain. — Alan Ladwig (@SpaceArtAl) November 4, 2018

At the USC commercial space workshop, Scott Pace gave an off-the-record talk over lunch. Now, with a smaller audience, there's a panel on "Management Research Applied to Space." — Jeff Foust (@jeff_foust) November 4, 2018
