Let’s hope this pans out. Among other things, it would solve Boeing’s problem. In fact, it might make electric airplanes possible, let alone cars. And some obvious space applications.

Attacks Like The One In Boston
Why are they so rare?
I’ve been wondering that for years. Decades in fact, long before 911. My theory has always been that the intersection of the sets of people competent to do such things, and people willing to do such things, is very small. Fortunately. Unfortunately, with advancing technology, it’s going to get easier, expanding the former set.
Busy And Aching
I was traveling most of last week, and I’m now frantically trying to finish the book. Plus, I had a tooth extracted this morning.
Just in case anyone was wondering why blogging has been light to non-existent.
[Wednesday morning update]
Thanks for the sympathy, but it’s really not that bad. The extraction was almost painless, with lidocaine, and I’ve only experienced a little swelling, and not much pain, on ibuprofen. I feel pretty much back to normal today. Next related project is an implant, in a few months after the bone graft has filled in and healed, but my experience with those is that they’re not a big deal, either. Modern dentistry is one of the many reasons that I wouldn’t want to have been born in an earlier era.

Clark Lindsey has a report up.

Space Access ’13
Humans To Mars
A conference, in early May. What I find interesting is who is not on the schedule. Check out the “Z”s.
I may try to raise money for a publicity event there for my book.
Stray Cancer Cells
A device that finds them in the blood. Early.
Fusion Propulsion
Are we on the verge of a breakthrough? Let’s hope so, but I’ll believe it when I see it. It’s a game changer if it happens.
