Happy international women's day! Here's a post about a succesful woman.

openDemocracy friend and entrepreneur [Esther Dyson](http://www.opendemocracy.net/debates/article-8-10-32.jsp) is holding a one day conference on space travel on March 23, the day after her annual PC Forum gathering. It's called [Flight School](http://www.edventure.com/pcforum/flight.cfm?ref=opendemocracy.net), and its about launching commercial ventures into outer space.

""Nobody's holding a space conference, so I decided to do one," [she said in an interview](http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/28/technology/28dyson.html?ref=opendemocracy.net). "It's not that there aren't space conferences, but nothing as tacky and commercial as we want to be."

Esther is a member of the private-sector advisory board that is advising the Federal Aviation Administration on its Next Generation Air Transportation System National Plan.
