What People Say When Rick Speaks:
"Rick Tumlinson was the featured speaker at the Space Medicine Association meeting on May 17, 2007. His perceptions on the future of space exploration and the rapidly developing possibilities of commercial spaceflight was delivered to an audience that was made up predominantly of NASA personnel or NASA subcontractor employees and so was quite different than their usual briefings and found to be very thought provoking."
- Mark R. Campbell, M.D.
President, Space Medicine Association
"As one of the most prominent speakers at the SEDS National Conference, Space Vision 2006, Rick Tumlinson helped set the tone for the conference early on.. His straight, to the point, method of speaking made it clear that it was time to take our visions of space exploration and move them towards reality. Rather than trying to make present day and past space programs, political policies, or designs, seem like something they're not, he presents his audience with the facts. Tumlinson is not one of those speakers who shows up twenty minutes before he speaks and leaves right after he is done: he takes the time to interact and speak with his audience (in this case, students) to gain insight into their views and ideas for the future. His enthusiasm, his honesty, and his overall positive attitude towards the need for space exploration caused attendees of Space Vision 2006, including myself, to walk away from this conference feeling inspired, motivated and ready to make a difference both on and off this world."
