12/3/21: Reading on lithium ion technological advancement

     AGENDA  AND  MINUTES

  1. Updates:   

• MH paper. 
• Women in space project. 
• VJB research. 
• PT research. 
• Financials: FTC reimbursement. 
• Anything else? 

2. Reading and discussion:

• "Lithium-Ion Batteries Have Plunged in Cost by 97% – Here’s the Reasons Behind the Rapid Cost Decline": https://scitechdaily.com/lithium-ion-batteries-have-plunged-in-cost-by-97-heres-the-reasons-behind-the-rapid-cost-decline/ - see fig. from paper: 

• de Alcantara and Martens 2019. We finished up to the paragraph beginning "In cluster 2" on p. 131 last time, so we will start there next time. 
• Future possibility: https://ourworldindata.org/technological-progress; Goldin et al., The Productivity Paradox, 2019.
• James Pethokoukis, https://fasterplease.substack.com/, tech foresight blog by former Jeopardy! champ; Chad Jones, https://web.stanford.edu/~chadj/, writes about endogenous growth theory.

---------------------------------------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?
