I was looking at the new Volt concept car from GM, and recognized that the car would never get to the market, as GM really did not want to be in the hybrid/electric car business whatever they said publicly. Their current excuse is that the battery needs to last ten years, which is beyond the current technology, and probably will remain that way for a long time. Interestingly there is a Brazilian car company that is promising a plug in hybrid and electric car next year. the Obvio! looks like it might be another disruption for the American car companies that still have not figured out that the future will not look so much like the past.
NASA and ESA have a similar problem, and the future of spaceflight is not going to be something that comes out of those structured work shops.
What do you think?

The Rate of Change
It seems that I am getting further and further behind as I get older. Some people say that the rate of change we are seeing will increase or even increase to a singularity. Perhaps I just need a better interface.
