“Shuttle Transition:  What Now?  What Next?
presented by Kyle L. Dixon, NASA Aerospace Technologist

What's going on at the Kennedy Space Center now that the shuttle program has ended?  We'll answer that question by discussing what the plans are for the remaining shuttles, what's going on with all that complicated infrastructure and what's happening with all the specialized equipment.  We will also discuss a couple of special projects and what the implications are for the future. Kyle enjoys talking shuttle-speak and this Keynote session is intended to be interactive, relevant and fun!
