A military dictates policy and the economy. Exist now Politics and nanotechnology (innovative) - and less, the economy. I think. Too much talk about nanotechnology, well.

James, if you're looking for investors in such a venture I'm pretty certain we could find a few folks who could cobble together a billion dollars to develop the short list of services you've mentioned above. I'd like to see the plan. Seriously. Publish an email address somewhere and lets exchange ideas. If that works out well who knows where it might go? “If we spent the amount of money one summer block buster movie makes (avatar – $1 billion) on nanorobotics, we’d have an end of disease, aging, death, scarcity, along with deep space travel, probably no war and no crime, and much much more.”

Why are these people at the NNI not interested in "REAL" aka Mechanical Chemistry Assembler nanotech? Why are so many people unaware or ignorant or dismissive of molecular assembler nanotech?

Everything else is 'geek rapture' to them. If we spent the amount of money one summer block buster movie makes (avatar - $1 billion) on nanorobotics, we'd have an end of disease, aging, death, scarcity, along with deep space travel, probably no war and no crime, and much much more. I'm going to make a comment like this, but I expect it will go over about as well as a pork slaughter house in mecca.
