Fri 8:00PM in Room 402 -- Animal welfare-not Animal Rights (#81)
   Just the phrase can lead to arguments, debates, etc. And, where should we draw the line? People who are closely affected will share their views and may predict future trends.

Fri 9:00PM in Room 402 -- Space Debris (#98)
   For decades NASA and various other groups, both Governmental and Private Enterprises have been sending satellites, missiles, rockets, etc. There are tons of junk out there! Most of it never reaches the Earth's surface in solid form, but maybe we ought to figure out what to do before the problem gets worse.

Fri 10:00PM in Room 402 -- Robots in the Military (#92)
   Automation continues to be the way of the future in business and commerce, so why not our Militias? Listen to various opinions and insight on this SF and increasingly Factual option.

   We've fantasized about this far-out way to make love, so why not capitalize on it as a way to promote Space Tourism? Hear the pros and cons of experts, (?sexperts)

Sat 2:00PM in Room 402 -- Careers in Space (#86)
   For all the money spent on NASA, and other Space Initiatives, where are the jobs? Listen to experts who hopefully can give some inside info and/or advice.

Sat 3:00PM in Room 402 -- Computer/Internet Fraud (#88)

Sun 10:00AM in Room 402 -- Clean fuel alternatives/recycling (#87)
   For decades man has raped and ravaged Nature's forests, oceans, animals, etc. And certainly Capitalists have made bundles from short-sighted energy policies with Oil Companies. Listen to what individuals and/or groups can do and have done to try and halt some of the damage done by past policies.

Sun 11:00AM in Room 402 -- Cyborg Supreme (#90)
   We've read tons of books and/or seen movies with artificial body parts galore, but increasingly this is becoming medical science fact, and less fiction. But how far have we come, and should we go?

Sun 2:00PM in Room 402 -- Mars Homestead Project (#95)
   Gary Fisher will speak, along with Gus Scheerbaum & Bruce Mackenzie.
