Who Would You Like To Hear?

I was thinking about the various talks that I have attended over the years.
And then I got to thinking about the talks I would like to hear and started
putting together a list with some friends.

Now I thought I'd toss it out here to see what ideas you all have. So, if
you were attended a space-related function, who would you like to hear and
why? Let's keep the list constrained to those still alive (I think my list
below is consistent with this), but no speaker to small or too big!

Here's some ideas I'll toss out that we've been kicking around (in no
particular order). I'll leave out my opinions, at least for now, some I
like more than others.

1. Neil Armstrong
2. Buzz Aldrin
3. Steve Jobs
4. Burt Rutan
5. Paul Allen
6. Charles Yeager
7. Admiral Gehman
8. James Cameron
9. Mike Griffin
10. James Lovell
11. Gene Kranz
12. James Oberg
13. Chris Kraft
14. Robert Zubrin
15. Dennis Jenkins
16. Jerry Linenger
17. George Abbey
18. Ken Illif
19. Murray and Cox
20. R. Sagdeev
21. Keith Cowing
22. Spaceship One Pilots
23. Sy Leibergot

You left out Roger Boisjoly. By chance I assume. For some at NASA he is
not much liked. But what he said before 2003 is now more important then
ever.

He his not to much mentioend here. For newbees:

Roger Boisjoly, P.E. is a forensic engineer and lecturer. He was a
technical troubleshooter on the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster
Program. As the principal engineer in the teleconference meeting with
NASA managers prior to the launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger,
he defended the original no launch decision. His testimony was vital
to exposing the truth about the decision to launch Challenger. Mr.
Boisjoly has appeared on all major national television networks, has
been interviewed on the MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour, and has testified
before the House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and
Technology. He is a member of NSPE and a fellow of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science.


Thanks,
