Hnh! An Obama initiative that might actually be good. Actually pay free market companies for actual services. What a concept! Agreed, this is really good news! I am excited! Less government and more privatization is always good. I think that once the competition heats up, we will see more progress ...

Since the public apparently insists on having White light street lights and other lighting applications, people have to accept the loss of efficiency that occurs as a result of using them. Actually I think that this bluish white light is really bad. I think the same about car headlights as well. IM...

40,000 people die in car accidents in the US allone every year. That is a Hiroshima death- toll in just 3 years. Any technology can do harm. The question that we should ask ourselves though is: How many more people would die without this technology? After all trucks bring us food, farm machines help...

My ref about Becker induces 33 degreeC Mild Hypothemia for the purpose of preventing the self-destruction of cells after oxygen is reintroduced. Its specifically for heart attacks and I speculate also drowning, and not suitale for hemorrhaging patients. It was 32 degress C in my case. What can I sa...

I presume you are asking about this in the context of Mike Huckabees show on Fox ? Nope, I was referring to Sarah Palin's future show on Fox, actually. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/jan/17/for-fox-the-palin-factor/?partner=yahoo_feeds The former Republican vice presidential candidate will do po...
If I have to wake up in the morning I usually feel like complete crap. If I have to be somewhere early, I often just don't go to sleep - I feel fine in the morning if I just go through to it without sleeping during the night. Then when I get home late afternoon (4 or 5pm) I just fall asleep then. D...

until there's a customer besides NASA who wants such things What things are that? Cheap access to LEO for cargo? For crew? You think it is only NASA that wants and needs that? I think that NASA is actually the smaller market for that. They should have to adapt their strategies to what is available ...

I would prefer that the News people announce their political preferences so people can understand they are on one side or the other. I like that thought! One more thing and that is an honest question (because I dont know): Do Kerry, or Al Gore have a show on ABC, Cnn, etc? Is there a former Dem can...
I admit that I sleep a lot. I like sleeping, or sometimes only snoothing. But my waking times are also longer than those of "ordinary" people. I just can not sleep if I am not totally beat down tired. Then I lie in bed keep pondering over problems or some technical question. I often find solution to...

On the engineers versus scientists thingy: I dont know how it works in the US, but in Austria, if you study at the technical university you dont get a PHD. You get the title "Diplom Ingenieur". I am pretty sure that this is simillar in most Germany speaking countries. So german technical physicists ...

Tech transfer is not a necessity. China and other nations probably have Polywell research programs underway at this very moment that we just don't know about, yet I was brievely involved with an attempt by an Austrian company trying to get a foothold in china. They gave up on it. If you want to fil...

One issue I've heard is man-rating. Manrating is a very stretchable and ultimately meaningless term. It originally came to life when ICBMs were used as the main means to get people into space. They were then "manrated" depending on various criteria. Space X has built its hardware from the beginning...
