As to my apparent brother in seeking positive technological developments respecting contributions to humanity..... The nonsense and theatrics and negativism of modern news really masks the good things people do. Most people are good, and the advances in our knowledge base are incredible. Screw CNN, Fox, et al. Wouldn't it be good if they looked for stories like this. To me the world is not on the brink of economic collapse. We are simply on the verge of such dire circumstances that our elected officials must do something positive and reasonable. Democracies in the western context are the only places where this can be made so. These elected officials never do anything good unless they have no choice. In truth they are probably happy that they have no choice. Any how, between this and the 3D blood vessels and other good news, however hard we have to look to find it, there will be no depression. And I will be at the inaugral Texas GP. |

I should add, I was watching an interview with Sir Richard Branson a few days ago about space tourism, exploration, development and using his business model to replace the massive expenditures of NASA or the Russian Space Federation etc. For a few million dollars, Virgin Galactic has managed to put people into early outer space. Their model makes sense in terms of using the atmosphere as launching fuel, rather than pure solid rocket launchers. So obvious, and I always wonder why the big boys didn't figure that out. Instead of ---- what --- hundreds of millions if not more per launch via pure rockets, these guys can put sequential payloads into orbit for only a few million per comparable payload. Free enterprise and capitalism. I might point out what we already know - Branson has hardly put a nickel into Virgin Galactic. All the money has been provided by presales, made possible by his reputation. Human ingenuity will always be superior to institutions. The institutions have bred this notion - probably for self preservation reasons - that it is so expensive to reduce risk. Nonsense. |
