White House request for Solar System Civilization ideas

[Tom Riley]

Often there are contests that you can use to promote your idea.  You don’t have to actually win to get the big exposure that can make a project.  One of these showed up last weekend:

Subject:  “Bootstrapping a Solar System Civilization”

From:  Tom Kalil, the Deputy Director for Policy for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Senior Advisor for Science, Technology and Innovation for the National Economic Council.

I am writing up the response for “The Big Moon Dig” immediately.  Please let me know if you would like to see it.

They solved the problem of colonizing the solar system in the 50's - 60's but people decided it wasn't worth the risk

Interesting that it's not a technology problem but a human courage / humans acting responsible problem...

To know recursion, you must first know recursion.

I had a nice telephone call with with Mr. Kalil last Saturday.  I felt he was left with a positive feel for me and my project and he gave me two leads that I am now following up on.
