Back then, government R&D in NASA and the military dwarfed civilian usage. Now, Hollywood and Silicon Valley probably spend more on technology than the government does. Indeed, they come to _us_ to find out the latest breakthroughs, not vice versa. What's the last innovation to come of the space program since, say, velcro?
Government contractors may be bemoaning the loss of NASA's manned space program, but I don't think anyone in Silicon Valley even batted an eye. They're more likely to buy rides on SpaceShip One than put faith in NASA's ability to innovate. -- Ernie P. -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
