[Solar Power Satellite Place] Digest Number 186

Thanks Mike! And Paul!

Does anyone know the names of any of the people behind c-sbsp.org? I'm sure there is a name or two on the web site somewhere but I couldn't find any. Maybe it's just my experience but these days anything political can get so scrutinized and having no people standing up and putting their names out can make paranoid folks leery ofa whole idea.
Paul, is this your site? In any case, if anyone does know of a person working on the project, perhaps you could pass this information along - maybe it would be helpful on their Links page?

There is an excellent video of "Inventor of the Space Solar Power" Dr. Peter Glaser and the "Father of Power Beaming" William Brown and Physicist Gerard K. O'Neill and Makoto Nagatomo of ISAS/JAXA discussing and answering questions about Space Based Solar Power at the first International Space University meeting held at MIT. While these men are all world renowned Engineers/Scientists the video is very, very understandable at any education level.
The video is at: tinyurl.com/ssiisusps - if that url is blocked by your email client, going to YouTube and entering a Search for "SSI Solar Power Satellite Roundtable at ISU" should bring it right up.
