It may be Memorial Day in the US, but it's just a regular working day here in Canada. So, here's today's fine list of finds.

First, I'd like to point you towards the

5th Carnival of Space

. It's out of my hands this time, but I'll be submitting an article. You should too.

If there was one conference I wish I could attend, it's the

International Space Development Conference

going on in Houston. Unfortunately, I don't pay me enough to attend conferences, but lots of people are there. I'll just live vicariously through them.

Here's

a report

from

Spaceflight Sandbox

.

More from ISDC, this time

Space Liberates Us!

is talking about Rick Tumlinson's plans to create the sport of spacediving. That's skydiving... but from space.

And Jeff Faust from Personal Spaceflight has news on Jim Benson's

new Dream Chaser spacecraft

.

But that's not the only conference I'm missing. This week is the American Astronomical Society's meeting in Hawaii. Pamela Gay is there,

and blogging all about it

. Get ready for a hailing storm of space news.

Centauri Dreams is

dreaming big

.
