About the Topic
The Association of Space Explorers (ASE) is an international organization of over 320 astronauts, cosmonauts, and scientists from 33 nations who have flown in space. Founded in 1985, ASE's mission is to provide a forum for professional dialogue among individuals who have flown in space, support space science and exploration for the benefit of all, promote education in science and engineering, foster greater environmental awareness, and encourage international cooperation in the human exploration of space.
The ASE is holding their Planetary Congress at the Museum of Flight in Seattle September 14-20. This is only the third Congress held in the United States since the ASE's inception. The Museum of Flight has graciously arranged for two of its members to speak at our SAMPE meeting.

In addition to thanking Pete, Marci and John we also thank those that helped with arrangements, preparations, cooking and/or clean up including Barry VanWest, Sam Tucker, Ryan Toivola, Chris Sahagun, Anthony Nguyen, Karl Nelson, Dave Jensen, Sylvester Hill, Jeff Gavin, Brian Flinn, Brian Clark, Geoff Butler, and Arlene Brown. Rosemary and Don Chamberlain who have have been our chefs for many years were able to attend after all so were there to provide advice.
