11/5/21: Status updates

 AGENDA  AND  MINUTES

  1. Updates: 

  • VJB paper. No new news.
  • MH paper. Editor made a few corrections and put the paper online but I can't get to it.
  • PT paper. PT attended the conference and it was good! Good keynotes, see  https://www.youtube.com/c/SAIConference/videos. No negative feedback on our paper, whew! 
  • SD paper & research. Writing the paper and found a bunch of references. 
  • VJB research. 
  • PT research. 
  • Financials. 
    • As of 6/25/21, PT paid $400 for FTC and the college has agreed to reimburse him for it after the conference, which is in late October.
  • 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?
