Importing Techno-Bigotry or Exporting Advanced R&D?
Subject: Baker giving HFGW propulsion to China
Date: Mon, 1 May 2006 10:37:15 -0700 On May 1, 2006, at 9:22 AM, Dr. Eric Davis wrote: Jack - FYI: Bob Baker is only collaborating with Chinese universities because DARPA program managers twice rejected his proposals. .......(continued)....

Earlier this year NASA announced that it will replace the Space Shuttle with a Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) that is based on the Apollo command module and return capsule design but upgraded with 21st century tech. The launch vehicle for the CEV is to be based on the Space Shuttle solid rocket booster (which has 4 solid fuel segments) but modified to be a single 5-segment solid fuel first stage augmented by a LH2/LOX upper stage or maybe liquid fuel booster rockets. So it's back to the future for both the Apollo spacecraft and Space Shuttle heritage technologies. There will be no using alternative liquid fuels, no nuclear rocket engines, and no other form of advanced propulsion outside of nuclear concepts.

There was positive news (search Yahoo, click on "News" for: 'Microsoft R&D hire 5000') about Microsoft hiring 5000 workers for research and development; Rumours abound (for the last three years, anyway) that Gates has been paying employees ungodly sums to 'experiment' on their children... Gates' belief in a mind/computer interface as being 'the next step in computer/software/human evolution' has all but consumed him. He'll be the next Howard Hughes. ************************************************** *************** Howard Hughes wasn't a "learner" so much as he was a "doer"! These are the kind of people we need in business today - more self-absorbed egobrainiacs to punch holes in our current bureaucratic deprivation syndrome. It was John Dewey who es- poused the "learn-by-doing" philosophy of the socialists, but the "do it right the first time, make mistakes, and learn from your mistakes" entrepreneur, who was a byproduct of the expand- ing industry of people like Hughes, found himself being increas- ingly suffocated by attorney-client privilege of the upper- class, tort law thru conflict of interest, and military-indus- trial espionage. The national mourning continues to this day! Yet Americans continue to idolize this great statue-of-a-man as if the world is unable to produce people like this anymore! Bullcrap! Create the condition for this kind of progress, and maybe people like Bill Gates can "Do their own thing!" Prop up the scientifically minded intuitives with more defense attorneys, "stetsoned" investors, and then "damn the torpedos"! There's a bigger, better ship on the way! Let there be no Titanics here! This is the last, greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen! |
