re: The spark...where's the spark and what could it be?
the spark, the passion have been neutralized by the mundane...find me a kid who gets excited about the moon, or Mars...big deal, where's Brittany?...the innerverse has taken over...
engineers can't sell...it breaks my heart, but Branson et al aren't doing a very good job, either...
the only spark will come from belief that we have no choice...emigrate, or die...that would work really well...
