This was an excellent symposium, but the video links posted here would be a LOT more useful if accompanied by an agenda. One is available at http://www.nasa.gov/topics/history/features/SSEat50.html. That agenda not only has the topics and participants of each of the panels listed, but also has all their slides downloadable, so one can view them with some quality while listening to the speakers.

Received a note from NASA Chief Historian Bill Barry, who informed me that there is an additional source for the videos of this symposium. Here’s the link to the summary page: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/history/features/SSEat50.html. If you go here, http://www.nasa.gov/topics/history/index.html, you will also find a link on the left side to the videos and the presentations. Enjoy.
