Hi,

Here is another idea for the next FSCONS: How about having
a space track? It could have topics like these:

  * Robot exploration of the moon, planets, asteroids

  * Clean, environmentally friendly energy production in space

  * New developments in space elevator building projects
    (for example with Geir Aaslid; see
    http://norcon27.no/romheisen-er-pa-vei/ (in Norwegian))

  * Presentation of Spaceport Sweden (Spaceport Sweden is a
    pioneering initiative to establish commercial human
    spaceflight in Kiruna and become Europe’s gateway to space).

  * Tale Sundlisæter: How to become an astronaut

    (in Norwegian)

After many rather "quiet" years, there is now a confluence of many
technologies which will lead to a new space-based industrial
revolution.
