Viridis321: Sean...is there another contact that you could give me for CU?
Viridis321: on the site, it's only you and in my excel sheet, I only have Ben Herbert

Jedi8798: nice name for it
wakerider73: lol
Viridis321: Hi Dhurata
Viridis321: alright, Josh...do you want to go next?
Jedi8798: Sure.
uarda2003: hi guys
uarda2003: I am Dhurata SEDS-PSU
uarda2003: president
Jedi8798: Allright guys, on National Projects level we just got some disapointing news that the XPrize has cancelled their plans for the Reusable Rocket Challenge for the 07 XPrize
Jedi8798: Given the LARGE interest from SEDS chapters, we're not giving up on a SEDS National level
DaFroshman: good (Keyword to: mailto:Kobrick@Colorado.edu)
Jedi8798: Just is quite annoying because them hosting it would have solved alot of problems
rmmlg08: can we still have it there
rmmlg08: except seds hosting it
Jedi8798: Jason Dunn and several UCF people have volunteered to help fundraise, and I am thinking of hosting a general meeting next week, or maybe even next CoC to discuss options and what people are interested in doing
rmmlg08: (would be a good way to increase visibility if we can pull it off)
Jedi8798: Ryan, possibly, I only JUST got the e-mail telling me tehy cancelled it a few minutes ago
rmmlg08: k
Jedi8798: I dropped them a reply asking if we could still do stuff, but I dunno
Jedi8798: I'm even thinking we could do a low level challenge this year
DaFroshman: that'd be awesome if we could (Keyword to: mailto:Kobrick@Colorado.edu)
Jedi8798: like the rocket plane thing Brian and I were thinking of before
Jedi8798: and set a high level goal for next years
Jedi8798: but set it NOW
Jedi8798: so that chapters have over a year to work on it
Jedi8798: the main concern I got about hte RRC was that there wasnt enough time
Jedi8798: So figure next CoC having more rocket discussion
Jedi8798: get your rocket guys to attend ;-)
DaFroshman: done * (Keyword to: mailto:Kobrick@Colorado.edu)
Viridis321: alright, Dhurata you want to give an update for PSU?
uarda2003: Ok so far we have had two general meetings
uarda2003: one was delayed from the snow and the other one we had Dr. Philbrick , a Astronomer as a speaker
uarda2003: this comming meeting we'll have Dr. Paz... [sorry I cannot spell his name] he's one of the PSU astronauts
uarda2003: our elections will be running soon so new e-board members will be soon on board.
uarda2003: And about the rocket project
uarda2003: we've tried to get in touch [Mock from my e-board] but nothing yet
uarda2003: I believe Josh was supposed to e-mail or something
uarda2003: that's so far :-)thanks
Viridis321: alright, Jessica you want to go next?
jwayer2: ISS has Illinois space day coming up where students in middle and high school come from all over the state to learn about Space, and we are havign the astronaut
jwayer2: do a live video withthe kids

jwayer2: As teh excitment is winding down from Goddard we are gearing up for Yuri's night
jwayer2: We are also helping out with Relay for Life at UIUC
jwayer2: Have any of you gone throught the certification process to launch M or N engines our tech team would like advice as to how to do that
DaFroshman: no one I know of has (Keyword to: mailto:Kobrick@Colorado.edu)
jwayer2: We are also goign to participat e the the Apogee books fundraiser, if anyone is interested shoot me an e-mail and I'll send it to the president od Apogee books, so far MIT SEDS was th eonly on eto reply
