Highlights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The symposium is extremely well-run (in large part by one of my former students): good facilities, exhibits, and speakers<\/li>\n<li>NE Governor Heineman mentioned their &#8220;Nebraska Advantage&#8221; program to bring military contractors to the state &#8230; I&#8217;ll investigate it when I get back to NC<\/li>\n<li>USSTRATCOM Commander, General Kevin Chilton, outlined his &#8220;wish list&#8221; of space capabilities &#8230; one key item was improved space situational awareness, which could be a real opportunity for some ambitious technology companies<\/li>\n<li>The combatant commands agreed on the importance of space systems and space support to their operations<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m going to start distinguishing between macro-targeting (looking at large areas, for strategic purposes) and micro-targeting (looking at smaller, precise targets for tactical purposes)<\/li>\n<li>The NRO plans to reinvigorate their science and technology efforts, which should spawn some new opportunities for industry<\/li>\n<li>Building any kind of Operationally Responsive Space capability will require a new business model for acquisition, which also means lots of potential for contractors throughout the supply chain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nHere&#8217;s hoping day 2 will be as good, or better!<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button
