Beamed energy propulsion
Beamed energy is the only way I know to get into space with at least a 200 to one cost reduction. This was just announced: NASA Announces Two Game-Changing Space Technology Projects Published by Klaus Schmidt on Sat Sep 17, 2011 12:27 pm via: NASA The “Ride the Light” concept seeks to provide external power on demand for aerospace vehicles and other applications. The concept uses beamed power and propulsion produced by commercially available power sources such as lasers and microwave energy. The project will attempt to develop a low-cost, modular power beaming capability and explore multiple technologies to function as receiving elements of the beamed power. This combination of technologies could be applied to space propulsion, performance and endurance of unpiloted aerial vehicles or ground-to-ground power beaming applications. Development of such capabilities fulfills NASA’s strategic goal of developing high payoff technology and enabling missions otherwise unachievable with today’s technology. http://spacefellowship.com/news/art26681/nasa-announces-two-game-chan... ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

Re: Electronic interface options
Personally I started using FB as I find it superior to twitter for the microblogging activity, as I often felt I needed more than 160 characters to talk about what I wanted to talk about. It's a great way to stir up conversations, or even to track what I'm doing with my various project. Also David participates there, and actually occasionally talks about science and fiction (and sometimes even science fiction!). That can't be a bad thing...

Re: Electronic interface options
I agree with Jon's comments about top and bottom posting. Gmail does a great job of grouping e-mails, so quoted text is just an annoyance as far as I am concerned. Isn't a stand-alone e-mail like this one easier to read than one with a lot of quoted text? Regards, Wayne. ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
Re: Electronic interface options
Wayne-- Hi. I'm top-posting both to make my point and because that's what this webmail client wants to do. (My own computer has video card issues at the moment.) If one wants to reply to several different points in a previous post, it makes sense to do this in one email. But how does one indicate which replies go with which points? By separating the points, and putting replies below them, of course. ---David - Original Message - From: Wayne Eddy darkenf...@gmail.com To: Killer Bs (David Brin et al) Discussion brin-l@mccmedia.com Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 10:55:56 PM Subject: Re: Electronic interface options I agree with Jon's comments about top and bottom posting.

Recently joined NetBase as director of product management, so I'm busy getting up to speed. One of the data points NetBase has developed is that despite Twitter, Facebook, etc., the real conversation still happens, and is increasing, in forums, list servers, etc. Discussion tends to start in the new social media, but if it has any depth, it goes into venues where some depth is supported. I suppose if we really want to revive Brin-L, we need to have links to it appearing periodically in social media.

Re: Electronic interface options
Personally, I like this format over FB, and maybe over G+ too. The fan sites have much less a sense of community than this list has (or had). I use Gmail and it automatically hides quoted text so that's not a big issue (it also has the best spam filter by far that I've come across). FB is good for friends and family and I've resisted the temptation to compile as many friends as I can, even trimming the list a bit now and then. I turn all the game stuff off and I don't respond to pokes and all that as I don't really see the point. I think G+ is superior to FB but most of my FB friends haven't transitioned there so I'm stuck with having to follow both. I have a Brin-l circle on G+ but I only have something like 9 people in it. I'd be interested to know how many of you all are on G+ and in trying that out as a possible successor to the mailing list, but, you know, I really miss the good old days Doug ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
