Greg Olsen, Citizen Astronaut

The New jersey Technology Council, NJTC, of which I am a proud member of many years standing, is an organization of about 1,000 technology companies in New Jersey. One of the cool things about this organization is that makes a point of recognizing special contributions of NJ citizens in the technology industry.

On January 17, 2006, t NJTC held a very special event. Greg Olsen, a scientist, an engineer, a very successful technology entrepreneur and our very own citizen astronaut, was the guest of honor at the Edison Innovators dinner.

With Greg's permission, I recorded his presentation at the event. Greg is a pretty cool speaker. He has a great sense of humor and is very down-to-earth. In this talk he shared his experiences both before and during his flight, and answered a bunch of questions from the audience.

So without further ado, here is the raw un-edited recording:

Enjoy the show!

PS. Greg is also scheduled to speak at this year's ISDC in LA. See you all there.
