Dr. Robert Zubrin - Mars Direct: Humans to the Red Planet within a Decade
NASA Ames Research Center Director's Colloquium, July 10, 2014, Moffett Field, California. Achieving a human mission to Mars has been a fascination of humanity for some time. In the 1990s, Dr. Robert Zubrin proposed the "Mars Direct" mission architecture, using conventional rockets and Mars in-situ resources to establish a sustained human presence on Mars. Now, with the nation debating how to proceed with human space exploration, the "Mars Direct" plan is more relevant than ever: Can Americans reach the Red Planet in our time? Robert Zubrin, formerly a staff engineer at Lockheed Martin Astronautics in Denver, is now president of his own company, Pioneer Astronautics. He is a Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society and former Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Space Society. He is the founder of the Mars Society; an international organization dedicated to furthering the exploration and settlement of Mars by both public and private means. The NASA Ames Director's Colloquium Summer Series was presented by the Office of the Chief Scientist as part of the Center's 75th anniversary celebration.

This is the most important thing we can do in this time. If you have it in your power to do something great, and wonderful, and powerful, then you should.”

“It is not too much to expect that our children will enjoy in their homes electrical energy too cheap to meter, will know of great periodic regional famines in the world only as matters of history, will travel effortlessly over the seas and under them and through the air with a minimum of danger and at great speeds, and will experience a lifespan far longer than ours, as disease yields and man comes to understand what causes him to age. This is the forecast for an age of peace." — Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Lewis Strauss in a 1954 address to scientists.
Making energy too cheap to meter - Works in Progress
The great slowdown began when we started rationing energy. Restarting progress means getting energy that is so abundant that it’s almost free.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." — J.R.R. Tolkien

- → "Right, back to work". I know some call MI6 tribute to Bond cold and rather disrespectful as it's a minute memorial within a working day, but I found it perfect. He was incinerated, no body or ashes available for a proper funeral. The Jack London quote perfectly summed up Bond as a whole. As of "right, back to work", he's gone, literally nothing they can do. The world doesn't stop spinning. And life must go on. Short but sweet. Truth be told, less is more.
