Motivating
One of the announcements at the Space Access Conference last weekend that I didn't mention is the new private Teachers in Space initiative (boy, is that web site hard on the eyes...). Jeff Foust has the story at The Space Review today.

I mentioned it. It was the high point of the conference except for maybe the glove quip from Brant that if Rand could think up a Centennial Challenge, anyone could.

Yes, well, anything to inspire the youth...

The site says "In over 20 years, no teachers have flown in space".
Well, I guess that just proves the old adage, those that can't DO . . . .teach.
As I've posted before, a transparent attempt to grab j dollars (aka federal funding) from the pols who immediately fling the long green at anything tied into the education bureaucracy.
Nice website, though.

What's a shuttle flight cost these days? $700 million? For $100 million we can fly 500-1000 teachers.
