Also, International Moment of Frustration Scream Day.
We spoke with Pat Hines, Chair of the International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight which is set for October 19 and 20 at the Farm and Ranch Museum.
It will be two full days of thought provoking, informative and idea generating discussions on multiple facets of the commercial space industry. Each session is designed to inform and engage you. Some panels are meant to shape an industry-wide dialog. Other panels are designed for opinion sharing. All are meant to help grow our industry by providing stimulus to diaolg and, where necessary, action.

1960 - At the United Nations, Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev went ballistic, taking off his shoe and pounding it on his desk! The UN Assembly President, Frederick Boland, was so irritated that he split his gavel trying to reestablish order.
1997: while flying his home-built airplane this 53 year old singer crashed into California’s Monterey Bay. It is the day we lost John Denver.
The 101 number one song of the day was recorded in New Mexico by a group from New Mexico and it became the biggest single of that year.
The group was from Raton and they were in need of a lead singer. Norman Petty, who owned the famed studios in Clovis, knew a singer from Amarillo and suggested they get together. They decided to give it try and went on the road trying out different songs to add to their repertoire. One song in particular got an incredible response from audiences. The reaction was so great, they played it twice each show. Soon they recorded it and released it as a single. At first, it sold well only in the southwest but eventually it broke out and it arrived at number one on October 12, 1963 and stayed on top for five weeks. It’s today’s 101 number one song of the day – from Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs (Sugar Shack)
