AGENDA AND MINUTES
1. Updates:
- VJB paper/research. RS successfully submitted it. Reviews expected by Mar. 31.
- Women in space project. Figures have some redundancy. HA will discuss with SD.
- American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics - may have a conference we could submit it to. https://www.aiaa.org/events-learning/events
- PT update. Cleaning the data set to prepare for writing the proposal.
- Review abstracts or similar, of choices before we pick the next paper to read.
2. Reading and discussion:
- TFDEA (e.g. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1002&context=etm_fac): Technology Forecasting Using Data Envelopment Analysis. We reviewed a few slides and decided to find out if there is more recent work on TFDEA that we might want to consider further. PT will report next time.
- The Institute for Progress. They address questions like what policies and social factors affect technological progress. We will try out a bit of https://progress.institute/immigration-powers-american-progress/ to see if we want to read it in full.
We ended the meeting here.
- Future possibility: https://ourworldindata.org/technological-progress; Goldin et al., The Productivity Paradox, 2019.
- Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology. Let's find out more about it.
- A background paper related to the women in space project: see SpaceTravelMetric-b6-5-16\PapersAndPresentations\femaleAstronauts\relatedArticles
- One of McDowell's yearly reports, available on the website.
- https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/techno-optimism-for-2022
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
