post way back in halcyon days of 2007, a quanit, link-less, picture-less review of Douglas Adams92 Hitchhikers92 Guide to the Galaxy. I can think of few other science fiction pieces that have shaped my outlook on Life, the Universe,

I have nothing to say to either Solomon or Kerwick. You post your articles and I will post mine- you can delete my comments as you see fit just as I can delete yours.
Your righteous indignation is comical. I think you both are lunatic fringe to be asking these questions on this blog. It is a forum for free speech- not your personal domain. Go away.

Let us recap.
1) You ask me, what is the relevance of this blog post to Lifeboat’s mission?
2) You post a blog titled ‘Four Years Ago’ (http://lifeboat.com/blog/2012/08/four-years-ago) about “An Afghan local policeman opened fire on American troops on Friday”.
Please do tell what this has to do with Lifeboat’s mission?

I infer that you have one rule for yourself and another for everyone else.

What makes you the authority on what should be published on Lifeboat’s blog and what should not?

Finally you have not answered my question, who are you? And by association what are your credentials for passing judgment on other peoples’ work?

I gather from the link Tom Kerwick has provided that you have not published any physics or aerospace engineering papers at a peer reviewed conference or journal?

So if you have not walked in the shoes of someone like Prof. JD Williams, what makes you an authority on how funding works in these communities?

“Getting funds” does not really depend on media coverage- it depends on peer reviewed valid research. Joe six-pack is not going to give the OK on any anti-gravity research grants. How your post is a constructive contribution to this blog is not clear to me.

Sounds like you are upset about not being the one getting the publicity. I doubt posting here is going to solve your problem.

Gary Church, sounds like you are upset that MIT was exposed for being a late commer to the field of microthrusters.

Lets focus on positive comments/contributions on how to overcome media bias for big well funded organizations.
