Well one more meeting, for what it is worth.
I hope the numbers will show we need to develop space.

I hope folks will make themselves aware of what has been accomplished on the ISS and think about what might be accomplished at a Lunar Base.

We do want to go to the Moon. Will help to know how to recycle on a Moon Base.
Why bother with a contest to interest students if you aren't going to go?
Will someone tell Congress we want to go back to the Moon, and if not
in person, we would at least like to watch.

NASA Sponsors Student Water Recycling Competition
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA is inviting fifth through eighth grade students to participate in a waste limitation management and recycling design challenge. Participants in the competition will design and test water recycling systems that could be used for future exploration of the moon. The top three teams will receive awards, and the first place team will receive an expense-paid trip to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Teams of up to six students and one teacher or mentor should submit their proposals and results to NASA for evaluation by Feb. 1, 2010.
Schools in the United States and its territories, science museums, science centers and home school groups may host teams.
The winning teams will be announced in May 2010. During the winning team's visit to Kennedy, students will gain first-hand knowledge about NASA's missions, receive behind-the-scenes tours of NASA's launch facilities, and learn about future aerospace and engineering careers.
The competition is designed to engage and retain students in the science, technology, engineering and math disciplines critical to NASA's missions.
