Mars Conference
I have been invited by the Mars Society to present the project discussed in this post at their conference in Boulder, CO on August 15, 2008. There are 10 "Finalists" who will be presenting, and afterwards the Board of Directors is going to select one project for further development by the Mars Society over the course of the next 5-6 years. I am excited and terrified.
Meanwhile, I have begun to discuss this project with my boss at work. He talked about the possibility for me to get credit for "working" while I am at the conference. Also, he suggested that they might be able to pay for my trip out there. Finally, he conferred with *his* boss and they agreed that I should pursue the idea of submitted a proposal for internal research and development funding.
Like I've said in the past, I don't know what to expect, but idealistically I think it would be great if this helped to lead me down the path to a Ph.D from MIT.
