Hundreds gather at the Cape to discuss ISS's future.

What's next for the International Space Station tops the agenda at a major conference being held today in Cape Canaveral.

Officials from NASA, aerospace companies and the station's international partners gathered at the Radisson Resort at the Port to discuss the $100 billion outpost's future.

The two-day conference, called "International Space Station: The Next Decade," was opened by KSC Chief Robert Cabana and Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for space operations. A couple hundred people were in attendance.

Upcoming panels will focus on: the international partnership; positioning the ISS for the utilization era; and the station as a national laboratory.

Should have named it, "How do we get to ISS when our own idiots (leaders) are shutting down manned space flight"?
