For the Mac users in the audience, I've put together an iCal calendar featuring upcoming aerospace events. For those not using Macs, you have my sympathies. 
The calendar can be subscribed to here:
webcal://icalx.com/public/davidhitt/Aerospace32Events.ics
A few notes:
Any event for which I could not yet find the exact time, I marked as an all-day event, but I will add the times as I find them.
This is very much a work in progress, and included only those events that I have handy right now. This is where I need help: If you know of an event that's not included, please let me know, and I'll add it. (Our friends abroad will note that it's NASA-centric, which I would love to remedy.)
I included URLs for each event, in case you're not familiar with a particular one. In some cases, it was simply the best URL I could find, and there may be room to improve it.
Needless to say, all dates are subject to change, and when they do, I'll change them. I'm listing NET dates as launch dates for the purposes of the calendar.
As any regular iCal user knows, there's no charge for using the calendar, but I would appreciate it if you let me know if you do use it and like it.
The following events are in the original version of the calendar:
August 2--Messenger launch
August 3--Expedition 9 EVA
Sept. 8 --Genesis Sample Return
October 7--SWIFT launch
October 9--Expedition 10 launch
October 18--DART launch
October 19--Expedition 9 landing
December 1--GOES-N launch
December 25--Huygens Probe Release
December 30--Deep Impact launch
January 14--Huygens Titan Descent
January 29--Cloudsat launch
February 11--NOAA-N launch
March 6--STS-114 launch
August 10--Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter launch
