11/12/21: Updates and reading

  AGENDA  AND  MINUTES

  1. Updates: 

  • VJB paper. It's published.
  • MH paper. No news is good news.
  • SD paper & research. HA is gathering full papers for the literature review, as he was able to get abstracts from Google Scholar.
  • VJB research. Working on combining and comparing curves for the different conditions. Also working on log scaling for the Y axis.
  • PT research. Found 18 articles for the SLR that are closely related to his research.
  • Financials. 
    • PT paid $400 for FTC and the college agreed to reimburse him for it after the conference. 11/12/21: the college has not reimbursed yet but it's in process.
  • Anything else? MH found some interesting sources. See item 2, next. 

2. Reading and discussion:

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