Two of the 20 member US delegation to the 2010 Space Generation Congress will come from the Central Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, with newcomer David Brundage and veteran Starla Jo Kiser joining the event with global organizers in Prague late next month.

Kiser, a Coeburn, Va. native, is a finishing medical and government student at Harvard University with interests in space medicine and astrobiology. An 'Advocate' of the Space Frontier Foundation, she has been involved with the Space Generation Congress since attending her first international space confab at Vancouver, Canada in 2004.
