Dear Colleagues,
I thought I might alert you to an event in which I am participating on Saturday. I will be speaking at the TEDxGoodenoughCollege event in London on
the topic of space solar power as part of an overall event entitled the “Future of Humanity – The Big Picture”. The website is:
The Dylan Ratigan show on MSNBC on April 30, 2012 featured a seven-minute summary about the current status of the US grid as well as a recap discussion about the 4/30/2012 FERC Staff Technical Conference on Geomagnetic Disturbances (GMD) to the Bulk-Power System which can be found at: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31510813/#47236863

Jerry mentioned that a key source of the Planetary Resources project was a set of discussions at Singularity University…
So I decided to discuss it a bit with them, and found at least one really exciting piece which went beyond what was in my blog… (though based on NSF funding in the end)….
Paul,
Good thoughts and feedback. Will take in all the suggestions, see the patterns, and the revise. We also have to create the bullet points under each of the main elements – whatever they turn out to be – and the weblinks to those bullet points. Does NSF [...]

Hi Everyone,
Please take a look at the working draft of the Global Climate Change Situation Chart at:
http://www.millennium-project.org/millennium/gccsr-chart.html
“Under” each item would be the key sub-elements that are not there yet. Your suggestions for bullet points or links under [...]

I gather that the folks from Google who put in a [...]
It is amusing to me that you, Dennis, being a NASA guy, would be so sour on going “out there”. Of course, Planetary Resources is a straight up commercial endeavor, with a boat load of billionaires backing it. Those few of the folks involved I know will have and will [...]

You may have heard about the announcement today, in which Larry Page and Schmitt of Google were among the investors who fully funded a new company to mine the asteroids (with some discussing of beaming energy to earth).
NSS people informed me of the live video cast. Detailed reactions at the URL [...]
