The human race into space will require kidneys: 4/8/22: Voted on a few possible readings

AGENDA AND MINUTES

1. Updates:

HA has noted the new reference suggestions but needs to cite them in order to include them in the references section.
DB suggested dividing it into two papers, one with all the details and one with the core elements.
Forum(s) to be determined after article is done. HA may be able to present at a conference if we get something accepted.

One set of possibilities is at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics - may have a conference we could submit it to. https://www.aiaa.org/events-learning/events has a long list of possibilities.
OK Acad. of Sci. has submittal deadline of Aug. 15 (tent.)

RS: Accepted WMSCI paper was uploaded in final form. Conference is in July. Reviews were high enough to make journal acceptance possible later. This will allow adding 2 more pages if desired.
VJB: Working on dissertation. Defense F April 22, 11 a.m.

PT: Needs to finish the proposal. Plans to send the proposal draft on Sunday. We hope to publish the SLR portion later.
MH: Reported that new language and image models have recently been released.
Received: "I am writing to see if you might be interested in giving a presentation at the Southeast Symposium on Contemporary Engineering Topics (SSCET) this year. The 11th SSCET will be held on Friday, September 16th in Little Rock, AR in conjunction with the 1st Arkansas Engineering Forum (AEF) hosted by the University of Arkansas. The presentation should be 25 minutes in duration with another 5 minutes for questions (there is no requirement for a paper). We have openings in the following Tracks (a breakdown of topics by track is shown in the attachment). I plan to list everyone as co-presenters.

2. Reading and discussion:

Here is a way to pick the next reading. Read a paragraph or so of each and vote on a scale 1-5: 5=strongly agree, 4=agree, 3=neutral, 2=disagree, 1=strongly disagree. Best ranked reading would be chosen to read next. Votes can be sent by chat, for example they can be sent only to one person.

Already voted on: One candidate: https://hrcak.srce.hr/file/394111 is a recent account of using DEA (which is part of TFDEA). We rechecked the abstract and read the first paragraph. Votes were: 3,5,2,5,4, averaging 3.8.
Already voted on: Future possibility: https://ourworldindata.org/technological-progress. Votes were 4,5,3,5,5, averaging to 4.4.
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. Vote was 3 2/7.
Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology. Let's find out more about it. We skimmed https://www.picmet.org/main/ and the question next is whether we want to read through the site in more detail. We can skim a little more before making a decision. the question then is: Do we search this site for another paper/papers to read? Vote was 3 11/12.

We got to here.

One of McDowell's yearly reports, available on the website.

We found that the paper at https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-40896-1_3 seems like it might be a good paper for us to read.
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.
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.
MH suggests a short book called Future Spaceflight Meditations, a cosmist perspective, by Jiulio Prisco, physicist formerly with the ESA.

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?
