As we reflect on some of the great achievements made during NASA's first forty years, it is truly exciting to imagine what human kind may achieve during the next four decades.
In celebration of NASA’s 40th anniversary the NASA Academy Alumni Association is cosponsoring a panel discussion with NASA and the National Space Society entitled "The Next forty years: A Vision of Humanity’s Future in Space".

Our distinguished panelists represent different sectors of the aerospace industry. Each will briefly describe their vision of some of the important milestones that will mark the next forty years. An open discussion will follow, in which the audience is encouraged to participate. By imagining some of the incredible achievements that might mark the next forty years, we hope to generate excitement about humanity's future in space.
