Space Access '07
                      March 22-24, Phoenix Arizona 
                         Conference Information 

Space Access '07, our annual conference on the technology, politics, and 
business of radically cheaper space transportation, starts Thursday - if 
you haven't been able to find a room in our sold-out conference hotel 
earlier, it's a good time to try again, as the hotel's cancellation 
policy is 48 hours notice and a few rooms may open up in the next couple 
of days.  If you do get a room, our "space access" rate is still good, 
so be sure to ask for it.

SA'07 is at the Best Western Grace Inn, 10831 S 51st St in Phoenix 
Arizona, the same place as SA'06.  Call the Grace Inn at 1 800 843-6010 
for room reservations, and tell them you're attending "space access" for 
our $92.29 full American breakfast-included rate.  (That's only $99 even 
after taxes.)  The Grace Inn is ten miles from the Phoenix Airport in a 
pleasant suburban neighborhood, with shopping and dining a short walk 
away, free parking, and a free airport shuttle bus.  (If you're driving,
take Interstate 10 to the Elliot Road exit about ten miles east of
downtown Phoenix.  From the top of the ramp, you should be able to see
the Grace Inn sign - it's one block west on Elliot to 51st st, turn left,
take your first left just past the gas station on the corner.)

Space Access '07 registration once again holds steady at $100 in advance 
($10 off for anyone who's ever been a paid SAS member), $30 Student rate 
(no member discount on the student rate.)  At the door rate will once 
again be $120.  Day rates will be available at the door only. 

Practically speaking, your advance registration would have to be at our 
mailbox by early Wednesday, and the express postage would cost you about 
as much as you'd save.  Our crack Registration crew stands ready to 
accept your cash, checks, or credit cards, at the door.  See you there!
