The 2008 NSMMS was held June 23-27 in Henderson, NV (just outside of Las Vegas). The symposium featured a senior level plenary session, seven major technical sessions, tutorials, workshops, poster papers, and networking events.

-2008 Special Guest-
Former Gemini and Apollo Astronaut
Lt Gen (Ret) Tom Stafford

Lt Gen Stafford is one of only 24 men that have flown to the moon. During the course of his career, he attained the highest speed ever reached by a test pilot (28,547 mph), led the team that designed the sequence of missions leading to the original lunar landing, and drafted the original specifications for the B-2 stealth bomber on a piece of hotel stationery.

In addition to his many technical achievements, Lt Gen Stafford was America’s unofficial space ambassador to the Soviet Union during the darkest days of the cold war.

Lt Gen Stafford served as one of the featured members on our Senior Leader Executive Panel and graciously talked with attendees and signed copies of his book, We Have Capture: Tom Stafford and the Space Race.
