(Though I would argue that it will be much better if the technology advances faster in responsible, democratically-governed countries -- however one chooses to define that.) I was mostly just speculating on whether the UK will be able to hold onto him. It's not just the US recruiting, others are as well, such as Singapore. But the UK has growing strengths in this area. --Christine Hal — You’re right; it’s not essential.

It is not essential that this technology is brought to fruition in the USA. If breakthroughs in countries outside of the USA help to accelerate the development of such things as molecular manufacturing, I'll applaud each and every one of them.
