Doors opened at nine and there were already pockets of people streaming into the Convention hall. They knew their timing was running out on an extraordinary event. This is my first Nextfest but the buzz around our team is that its been the best one yet. There’s an added energy to this year’s event. That’s what holding this in New York does.

Spent some time at “Virgin Galactic� yesterday and I was simply in awe. The interior looks almost like a New York dance club. Everything was white and the seats for the passengers were curved; almost looking like they would mold to the passengers body.

A real time simulation of the whole shuttle experience ran on a nearby plasma screen. The whole experience for the passengers would run only about 5 minutes in space. But wow what a five minutes that would be.

We’re going to be uploading some great video this morning on the blog…more to come.
