Others, such as Bigelow’sAmerica’s Space Prize, go unclaimed, while still others, such as the GLXP, arestill pending. Competitors will share some of the business plans behind going tothe moon, and consider how we quantify the value of the potential markets onthe moon that GLXP competitors may tap to help fund the mission – media,advertising, science, and tourism.

Tetra WineTetra-a harmonious fusion of four. Our 2006 Tetra Red Wine is a classic blend ofCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet franc and Petit Verdot. Each lot was individu-ally harvested from exceptional vineyards in the cooler southern part of the Napa Valley,and then vinified separately in order to fully capture and showcase the essence of thefruit sources. Fermentation variables included cold soak (to increase extractability ofcolor and tannin), inclusion of whole berries (to amplify primary fruit), fermentationtemperature, cap management, and extended maceration (to soften tannins and stabi-lize color). Following fermentation, the free run was racked to small French oak barrels(75% new), where the wines underwent malolactic conversion. Wines were aged for18 months in barrel, and then the final blend was painstakingly crafted through manysessions of trial-and-error tastings, finally honing in on the best-of-the-best. The winewas bottled without fining or filtration to maximize flavors and textures.

Fred Bourgeois Fred J. Bourgeois, III has been dreaming and making plans to pursue space explorationsince he was two. Growing up in a “NASA family” in Huntsville, Alabama, wherehe attended Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom High School probably had a lot to do with it.Bourgeois was early recognized for his mathematical talents, and went on to receive hisBSCS degree from Tulane University’s School of Engineering. After attending the Tu-lane Graduate School, he began a career in academia teaching Computer Science at theUniversity of Minnesota, and later for Eaton Corporation’s Information ManagementSystems Division, and several University extension programs. Bourgeois’ teaching forEaton included support for clients utilizing satellite systems and networks, and com-mand, control, and communications programs. Bourgeois next worked as a contractoron classified programs at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Weary of the classifiedworld, his next endeavour brought him to Santa Cruz, California, where he initiallyworked for MetaWare Incorporated as a Senior Compiler Developer, and then into hisown software development and consulting business, FREDNET. Now operating for morethan 16 years, the company was renamed Applios Inc.
