TEDxNASA - Bobby Braun - Our Generation's Space Race

His plan is to re-charge NASA technology. Dr. Robert D. (Bobby) Braun
was appointed NASA Chief Technologist in February 2010. As lead of
the Game-Changing Technology Development Program, his charge is to
develop radically new approaches to NASA's future space missions and
to the nation's significant aerospace portfolio. Where other development
activities seek the steady and deliberate evolution of system and mission
capabilities, Dr. Braun's focus is on technological innovation; his mission
is to create devices and opportunities that have to date only been
imagined. The only way we can accomplish these far-reaching goals, says
Dr. Braun, is to invest today in groundbreaking technologies -- propulsion
systems, lightweight structures, inflatable habitats and radiation
protection.

this guy is intersesting... I agree we need some new technologies to go to Mars, but we need to set some short term milestones that make sense and that move us in that direction and we need to sync those with the farher out technologies. On the whole, i think this guy and charlie bolden are " real average". Americas space explorers deserve better than this.... we deserve much better than this!
