I'm back on the road again, and truth be told I'm enjoying it. Selling a final product to a tough customer is just around the corner during my day job, and I really relish this type of think on your feet challenge. It's gonna be epic.
I've been listening to a biography of Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance. It's a great book, and I think it provides an excellent feel for the highly competitive and technical nature of the work that Mr. Musk and his companies are currently tackling.

Musk's way of working bears a striking similarity to the description of the way that Hymen Rickover worked on the nuclear navy as related by Theodore Rockwell, related in his biography of the Admiral.
I sense that the effort associated with the N2N-TCP is somehow related to this high tech pursuit of conquering the challenges associated with surviving on planets or celestial bodies other than Earth for long periods of time. I don't know how they relate, but the inkling is there for me.
I don't know how any of this will shake out tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to finding out.
