The US Government needs to create a Manhattan Project for Nanotechnology, namely, MECHANICAL MOLECULAR MANUFACTURING. Instead of spending billions of dollars on scattered projects from dealing with obesity to pollution and the rest, develop TRUE Molecular Nanotechnology. Then, we can SOLVE ALL of these problems.

Nanomachines will be used to dissolve excess fatty tissues and cleanse arteries, and build muscle, allowing you to eat whatever you want AND stay healthy and fit without exercise or dieting, AND, cheaply manufacture healthy food for everyone. That ends the obesity issue.

Nanomachines will be used to cheaply mass produce material goods thus eliminating material lack which is the root cause of material poverty and thus ending the American and Western economic problems; we will switch from material scarcity to material abundance.

Nanomachines will be used to cheaply mass produce solar electric converter sheeting and hydrogen chemical fuel cells and artificial photosynthesis systems and we will have nearly unlimited energy abundance, clean, cheap, and green. Thus no more burning fossil fuels.

This is only the beginning. It would take a fraction of what has been wasted and spent, and we could solve all of these problems and more (And yes, nanotech WILL create NEW problems to replace the old ones but at least we won’t have the old ones to bother with).

It seems that almost every day there is some new announcement where nanotech is messing with the photosynthesis chain. Months ago someone stripped and oxygen, now they’re building templates that could lead to large biologically active proteins and basing it on chlorphyll. If we’re not stripping electrons for direct power or moving to the hydrogen economy pretty soon I’m going to be disappointed. From the time my grandmother saw the first airplane to footprints on teh moon was just over 60 years. From the moon prints to the hydrogen economy should be shorter.

To me this appears that the control / programming of molecular synthesis architectures (domains of reactivity placed within controlled regions of time and space) is approaching a much more defined language, hinting at new directions.

Not only that but it seems that we are more and more each day finding order within the “chaos” of the nano realm.
