President Obama's announcement last week of his new plans for space exploration has stirred the American imagination. Obama has predicted that these new plans will lead American astronauts to land, first on an asteroid, and then on Mars, all by the mid 2030's. According to the fact sheet distributed on the President's address in Florida, this new plan advances America's commitment to human spaceflight and exploration of the solar system, with a bold new vision and timetable for reaching new frontiers deeper in space.

"We want to leap into the future," Obama said in his speech to at NASA headquarters in Cape Canaveral.

Following President Obama's bold predictions, Naveen Jain, Founder and CEO of Intelius will speak at the Churchill Club's Space Commercialization event today, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Palo Alto.

"As we come to grips with our planet's finite resources, we will look to outer space to address our burgeoning needs and to sustain and further mankind," said Naveen Jain in a recent press release, "Space commercialization is not about tourism for the rich, but about uncovering new solutions for some of biggest challenges facing our world today, including conducting advanced medical research, enhancing solar energy and tapping potentially limitless natural resources."

Jain will join Peter Diamandis, president, chairman and CEO of X PRIZE Foundation; William G. Gregory, former astronaut STS-67; Bob Richards, Odyssey Moon CEO and International Space University co-founder, and Dr. David Livingston, founder and host of "The Space Show" at the Churchill Club event. The distinguished panelists will explore the present and future of space commercialization, including the economics, future trends, and potential for public-private partnerships.

Intelius founder and CEO Naveen Jain was recently interviewed by Loren Baker of Search Engine Journal. In the interview Naveen discusses his plans for the future of Intelius, his successes and what he attributes them to:

• Passion - You must be passionate about what you are trying to achieve. It must mean something to you and you must be willing to sacrifice a large part of your waking hours to this purpose. Your passion will ignite the same intensity in others who join your team and help the same cause. Your team members and your customers are more likely to believe in what you are doing because of your passion.
• Focus - Great entrepreneurs see many opportunities where others see nothing; this is a gift but without focus can be the downfall. We can only focus on things that we can control and that means we need to stay focused on our efforts and let the results be what they will be. You have to always remember that most companies die from indigestion rather than starvation i.e. companies suffer from doing too many things at the same time rather than doing too few things.
• Hard Work - Success comes from hard work; there is no such thing as overnight success. Behind every overnight success lies years of hard work and sweat. Even the luckiest people will tell you that there is just no easy way to achieve success. Luck comes to those who work hard. Successful entrepreneurs always give 100% of their efforts to everything they do. There should never be any regret in the outcome if one knows that they are giving it their best effort and leaving no stone unturned. - Search Engine Journal
