Well the first thing that any of these ideas need is a good business plan. Second thing they need to do is develope the technology using alternative, low cost materials. If the right investors are able to see the bigger picture in what this kind of technology is capable of accomplishing, more investors will be interested as the stocks in this tech start going up.
Even something like Pyramid City in Japan is a good example of how our space station can be easily designed and constructed.
Manipulating carbon at the cellular level, and telling it what you want it to do is only as tricky as mastering the H-effect and then enhancing it.
This is one of the things that makes a plan like this implementable. Showing them the technology is one of the ways that investors will become more likely to invest.
In theory anyhow. The patent process has to stay out of the loop though until everyone knows about it.
Then, you go through the four steps and then you can invest your own earnings back into the technology that a certain team right here in the forum can assist in developing.
Now one of the things I would love to do is to get Volitzer, TSM, Merlin, and the rest of our tech squad together on this to see what it would take.
However, I'm sure that's not going to happen.....
We're probably the only interested parties, LOL.
