2. Reading and
discussion:
- de Alcantara and Martens 2019. We finished
section 2 and started discussing the 1st par. of section 3.
- Future possibility: https://ourworldindata.org/technological-progress; Goldin
et al., The Productivity Paradox, 2019
---------------------------------------Below
are some ideas for future discussion----------------------
- We found that the paper at
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-40896-1_3 seems like a
good paper for us to read.
- MH suggests a short book called Future Spaceflight
Meditations, a cosmist perspective, by Jiulio Prisco, physicist formerly
with the ESA.
- MH suggests Pantelis Koutroumpis, The Productivity
Paradox, a report.
3. Background literature
update.
- Some interesting videos are at the Kartik Gada channel
such as at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuRX67CJhaOT98Jdjh85CEQ
which we discussed previously.
- For general reference here are some generic questions
about articles (and videos):
What is the source?
What is the most significant advance in the
human knowledge presented in the paper?
Why is that advance important?
What important questions arise from the paper
for future research?
What important questions would it be nice if the
paper answered, but does not answer?
What does the paper present that is novel (no
one else has provided that before)?
What is the relevance of the paper to our
satellite research goals?
Questions from the group?
