Vote for Space at SXSW 2017
We need your help! There are a number of exciting space-related panels proposed for next year’s South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas. SXSW is a community-driven event and voting accounts for 30% of the decision-making process for any given programming slot. The selection process is extremely competitive and the more votes we submit for the space panels, the more likely a panel related to space exploration will be included in the final SXSW program.
To help you out as you consider what to vote for, we’ve put together a list of all the NASA-related panel proposals.
These proposals look at ways we explore the solar system and beyond:
New Eyes on our Home System: NASA’s Next Telescope
Dark Energy and Exoplanets: NASA’s WFIRST Mission
Capturing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope
Lessons from the Fringes of the Solar System
Into the Unknown: The People Behind Webb Telescope
These proposals looks at how we’re using out-of-this-world tech and data to create incredible experiences here on Earth and helping solve challenges through your participation:
Space 360: Experience NASA Missions in VR/AR/video
The Power of Many: Wisdom from the Crowd
It’s Time to Ask More of Open Data
A little closer to home, this proposal explores our work to study and observe our dynamic home world, Earth:
NASA - Doing Work to Keep it Cool
We want to send humans on a journey to Mars. How? These proposals would dive into this question and more:
So you want to go to Mars?
Humans, Robots + Microbes: The Challenge of Mars
“Because They Are Hard”: NASA & Mars
Lastly, we’re proposing a meetup for NASA and the entire space community at SXSW 2017:
Community voting and commenting for SXSW 2017 is open through September 2, 2016.
We look forward to seeing you in Austin in March at the SXSW Interactive Festival. Thanks!
