Seriously, kudos to Dr. Moss for the courage to be contrarian and present some constructive ideas. Why NOT invest a little money in innovations that may be waiting in the brains of entrepreneurs, in inventors' basement labs, and yes, even, academic research labs? His plan is conceptually sound. If we invest $1 billion, that still leaves many billions to go into the usual pork-barrel projects, have no fear. That’s Dr. Sunshine, please.

We all need a good laugh in times like this, especially at ourselves. Thanks, wazowsky, I got a good chuckle out of your post. We all need a good laugh in times like this, especially at ourselves.

That's so crazy and caring, it just might work! Of course it has the disadvantage of poorly defined terms, cherry-picking of historical references and the eternal bias of "triumph of the plucky oppressed" narrative. Um, but otherwise, yes that is just enough detail and data to justify another billion to a do-gooder academic money-hole. Thanks Mr. Sunshine! Wow! That’s so crazy and caring, it just might work!

Just to add another example to your historical references, the invention of both the telescope and the microscope were a direct result of work on eyeglasses -- and ended transforming science at both the largest and smallest scales.
