BeamMore broadly, we need a real vision for the next stage of space exploration. This is what America is all about; we can do anything when we put our mind to it. As Mark MillsForbes.comThe Moon programs effect was profound and far-reaching, inspiring an entire generation of engineers and entrepreneurs. No, they didnt all get government jobs with NASA or in private-sector companies supporting NASA to build the Saturn V rocket, the space capsule, its electronics or the moon rover and all the other related hardware. Most just found the whole idea the pursuit itself inspirational and pursued careers SatMagazine April 201013

Beamin everything from microprocessors and software to nuclear power and photovoltaics. The dots are not so hard to connect. The U.S. economy was in liftoff mode for most of the second half of the twentieth century. While there were several contributing factors, at the core the accelerant for growth was techno centric innovation. Not space technology per se but that generation of scientists and engineers who brought an unprecedented intellectual energy and excitement to peacetime pursuits. The inventions and new companies created in the shadow of Apollo were manifold. Mills http://www.forbes.com/2010/02/16/ program.htmlhttp://newsletters.spacefoundation.org/spacewatch/ articles/id/416 STEMscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics International Space Station Space Foundation has advocated strongly.

Haiti + BeyondBy now you have all probably seen heart breaking, high resolution satellite imagery of the destruction in Haiti. The speed with which GeoEye and DigitalGlobe disseminated these images around the world was truly amazing. With extensive databases of recent imagery, these companies were even able to provide side by side pictures of before and after.

Insight Ondas Media & Solaris Mobile More than just friends?Dave Krueger, of Ondas Meida says. Ondas Media is cooperating with Solaris Mobile and have been very supportive of their campaign from the beginning. It is clear that we do so with the intent of becoming even more aligned over time as we both move to commercialize our respective projects. As you would expect, our teams are highly focused on developing the current system now that the anomaly investigation is complete. We will certainly help each other in crucial fundraising activities as both companies need capital to carry out their full business plans.Steve Maine, of Solaris Mobile says, It is important that we are very clear as to what we are going to do. We are not going to invest a penny [of the $130m insurance claim received for the antenna problems] into a service provider. We will put our cash into network infrastructure. We are looking to position ourselves as a network service provider on a commercial basis. This is not to rule out that downstream we might engage in the provision of services to end users, but this is not where we are today. It is all down to priorities and we do not yet have our core services up and running. And they need more investment.

Reader comments... I just read your book on the plane home. It is fantastic! Just wanted to let you know I took your book home to read, because I am certain you wrote it for people like me. Need to purchase a few more copies of Tonys book. Will be a good learning guide for our new hires. Tony, I got the book yesterday, and it is really great! I love the phrasing and voicing... its definitely you, but it reminds me a bit of Anthony Bourdain. It is highly informative, and spoken with a command of the subject matter thats coupled with humor which makes it memorable and lasting. Thanks. I recommend that every company in the industry buy this book for every employee. Its the best book yet. I am waiting for the movie starring Danny DeVito as Tony.
