New Propulsion needed by NASA

NASA propulsion Strategy by Brian Birger That has sparked my interest in some strategies that ought to be looked into. ---- Isn't there some college professors out that has imagination and could be awarded some small Contracts that would work on some Anti Gravity power source besides using Speed generated by chemicals to get off the Earth. Is NASA working on Atomic Energy for lift off from Earth. it might take some new imagination to develope atomic energy with out the heavy Lead Shielding. Why not let out some real small contracts either to small industry or even to individuals or even to High School students and let their minds run wind. There is a need for a Research lab like the Old AT & T lab before The telephone giant was broke up. The need for the Scientist to be free to investigate wierd things in Science is very important. I read somewhere that some of these people acted like wierdos but they came up with many original ideas. Profit was not the motive from what I read about this lab. There is a need for Comic Strips and Fiction stories based on minimal science research. There is something about Comic Strips and fiction that get the mind going, but it has to be based on Truth and Facts. Everything is that is profit oriented does not always get new things. Everything is so secretive these days that the public and our economy is losing out. There are too many Corporations that control everything that we have including the media and the CEO are too well paid for what they are actually accomplishing for the corporation and our country. Oh well have fun.
