Yet Another Stealth TEDxNASA Event

Keith’s note:There is another TEDxNASA event today – hosted by NASA Langley. This event was only publicly announced three days in advance, well after the “invitation only” attendees were selected. Taxpayers across the region were not given a chance to attend. There is no mention of this event at NASA’s Office of Education webpage, at NASA.gov or the NASA.gov event calendar, the NASA.gov students page,or in the most recent issue […]

NASA LaRC PAO Still Refuses To Release TEDxNASA Information

Keith’s note: I have sent multiple requests to NASA LaRC PAO, posted requests on their Facebook page, and made Twitter commentary. Yet they still refuse to release the names of the people who will be speaking at this NASA-sponsored and supported event. Why are they refusing to release this information? Laziness? Bad planning? Arrogance? Keith’s update: Once again NASA LaRC’s Stephen Craft has formally refused my request for a list […]

TEDxNASA 2010

Keith’s note: According to a Twitter posting by the TEDxNASA folks at LaRC: “THIS JUST IN! Save the date… TEDxNASA 2011 coming November 4, 2010! http://bit.ly/9mHzSl“. I certainly hope the organizers have some adult supervision this time as they assemble the agenda. As I noted in my comments from the first event last year, a substantial portion of what was presented had little if anything to do with NASA or […]
