With what I see in DARPA and related fields, Magda, I think you're 10-year window is very optimistic. While I do not pretend to truly understand the predicted, perhaps the Mayans are right.
I have been working a mental theme today of making human contact... the need, the art, the challenge ... and thinking of the movie by that name ... on the day when there is news about planets perhaps in the Alpha Centauri system ... and the news that the US is installing Patriot Missiles to deal with Iranian capabilities... and the work that has been done in inter-species communication... , and the need for trans-species communication, and the movie "2010: The Year We Made Contact" and .... and then I had a brain cramp because I realized it was already 2010.
It's gonna be a race, and a close one.
Down, boy; sit.
Good dog.
