From the projects section- The Mars Expo is in the earliest planning stages at the moment. The idea is to do a kind of "space fair" that will help to popularize space. This is tentatively planned for Austin in 2010.

The idea is to create an event rather like an indoor X Prize Cup without the airshow and the heavy hardware. We believe that XPC is a great public outreach effort and is worth emulating; and the same goes for Yuri's Night.

The point here is not only to inform and educate but also to entertain and to achieve popularity. Therefore we should not have just displays and speakers that emphasize education. We should also have food, drink, music, art, games, freebies, contests, and more.
