Backslapping at the Broadmoor

Leonard Nimoy to Headline Space Foundation Space Technology Hall of Fame Dinner April 15, Space Foundation
“Since 1988, the Space Technology Hall of Fame, in cooperation with NASA, has honored those who transform technology originally developed for space exploration into products and services that help improve the quality of life here on Earth.”
Keith’s note: I wonder what Mr. Nimoy’s speaking fee is? I’ll bet that the Space Foundation could assist several needy college students with it. Add in the cost of fireworks, entertainment, and other pointless perks at this meeting and something af real value could be done with this money. Why not have a nationwide essay contest and pick a few winners and put that money out in the real world? NASA’s logo is on the Hall of Fame page so I guess they are cool with all of this expensive back-slapping – I mean, they support it year after year by sending people to attend it, right?
