The Mars Society is proud to announce that Elon Musk will be speaking
at the 10th International Mars Society Convention, which will be held
at UCLA, Los Angeles, August 30-Sept 2, 2007

Elon Musk is the founder and CEO of SpaceX, an entrepreneurial rocket
development company that just made history by reaching an altitude of
200 miles with its privately developed Falcon 1 launch vehicle. Much
larger Falcon 5 and Falcon 9 vehicles are reportedly under
development that will allow SpaceX to radically reduce the cost of
reaching space with both medium and large payloads. SpaceX is also
developing a man-rated capsule to enable low-cost human
transportation to space. Musk is also the Chairman of the Board of
Tesla Motors, which just revealed its revolutionary high-speed
electric car.

In his talk, Elon Musk will lay out his vision and his plans for
opening the space frontier. Come hear a real space cowboy!
