	Sunday September 28, 2008

During the first half of the program, entrepreneur Bob Bigelow discussed Bigelow Aerospace, the decline of NASA, and the formation of a new company aimed at finding exotic technologies. Detailing the goals of Bigelow Aerospace, he explained that they hope to lease their facilities to countries that are developing their own space agencies and to corporations wanting to perform experiments in a zero gravity environment. This model would allow for clients to save money by not having to create their own massively expensive hardware. Bigelow was critical of the decline of NASA, but also stressed that the problems with the space agency were systemic of a larger problem in America. "I see that America has, and is, squandering its leadership in many areas, not just in the area of space," he said. Bigelow was also skeptical about the future of manned space flight vehicles being developed by NASA, pointing out that there have been about a half dozen such programs initiated and then shut ...

	Nanotech's Dark Side
	Sunday August 13, 2006

Aerospace and defense systems developer Sir Charles Shults revealed the positive and negative sides to nanotechnology, as well as the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Nanotechnology offers the ability to manipulate things at the atomic level and will allow us to construct materials that we've never been able to make before. For instance, a bullet-proof garment that weighs no more than a T-shirt is being developed. Nanotubes are being used to make new capacitors that could be used for lightweight storage/battery systems In medicine, nano particles were recently used to treat Alzheimer's patients, he reported.Possible misuses of nanotech include weaponry that could be effectively hidden and taken aboard planes. We'll need entirely new systems to detect and discover these weapons, Shults said. He also warned of the "grey goo" syndrome in which nano disassemblers run amok and begin "eating" everything around them. There could also be "targeted viru ... More
