KEYNOTE ADDRESS
 Jerry Doyle
Many folks remember Jerry
Doyle as the troubled Mars-born
security chief, Michael
Garibaldi aboard TVs
Babylon 5. Although now
a science fiction icon, in
addition to his varied acting
gigs, he is also a nationally
syndicated radio talk show
host.
www.jerrydoyle.com
His conservative-libertarian
views include a strong
stance on the importance of
the American space program,
the benefits to national
prestige, as well as basic research and development, crucial
to remaining a viable nation, respected worldwide, especially
among the developing nations.
In this heated political arena and upcoming election, Jerry will
discuss the candidates often unspoken but important views on
science and space. In the company of many of the men who
walked on the moon so long ago that some dont think it was
even possible, he will explain the political consequences of
the lack of a popular national goal and the seeming paralysis
of todays government, and how the answer lies in the grass
roots of the American electorate.
