"My motto is always trust a business major's evaluation of engineering feasibility over that of engineer[ing major]s."

From the NEEP link:

Lecture 10: "Potential Resources of the Moon" by Harrison Schmidt

Lecture 19: "Potential Resources of Mars" by Harrison Schmidt

Lecture 21: "Asteroids and Comets: Potential Resources" by Harrison Schmidt

Lecture 39: "Economic and Business Parameters for a Return to the Moon" by Harrison Schmidt

Dr. Schmidt is a business major? Hmm, my "Who's Who in Space: ISS Edition" notes a BS in Science, Fulbright Studies at Univ. of Oslo, and a PhD in Geology from Harvard. I guess I need to get an updated copy.

By the same token, perhaps we should always trust an engineering major's evaluation of business feasibility over that of a business major?

Cheers,
Ken
