CONTRARY BRIN: Marvels of the Universe
http://davidbrin.blogspot.com/2015/01/marvels-of-universe.html
LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE. Saturday, January 31, 2015. Marvels of the Universe. I just returned from Cape Canaveral for a meeting of NASA's Innovative and Advanced Concepts. Group, where I am on the Council of External Advisors. NIAC is the small team within NASA charged with taking big risks (with little money) on highly speculative and "far-out" potential technologies. Small seed grants are handed over for clever (and a few almost-crackpot) endeavors that might bear fruit some distance down the road.
