Hey Fel - NASA Visionaries wanted.

Hey Fel, and any others interested,

NASA is looking for some visionaries. The way your brain seems to work I thought you might want to check this out.

I hope the writing is going well. Like all, getting anxious here.

Have a good one

I especially like that part

Foreign entities at any level of participation are not eligible for funding from the NIAC. This includes proposals from domestic entities that include foreign entity participation.

as if only u.s.-americans have great ideas..

well, nothing for me in there then...

Give me your ideas then, I'll post them, then split the profits.

[Forbidder]

no no, you mean if you happen to exclaim your ideas loudly in the forum and i happen to read and ignore it, then submit a similar sounding idea all based on my own ideas, then I accidentally misdeposit X% of the research grant because I put in the wrong account number.

And plus that money is a research grant for the purpose of furthering the ideas. But it'd be nice to see one of those rail rifles/guass cannons.

like, say, a railgun that shoots processed ore into lunar orbit for transport to earth ....
pm me for my account number.

Not new

I'm pretty sure it's been hanging around for 50 years
