NASA Needs a Destination — The Mars Society

The existing Lunar program and boosters has been ditched. The new plan says that there are new "game changer" technologies in the pipeline that would cut travel time for a manned voyage to Mars significantly. However, Rubin of the Mars Society says that is not so. Click below to go to the Mars Society site.
NASA Needs a Destination — The Mars Society: "Consider the following: At the same time it announced its new space policy, NASA gave notice that the three key supposedly “game-changing” inventions it would seek to develop as part of the effort would be the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VaSIMR) propulsion drive, orbital space depots, and heavy-lift technology."

This is from a U.C. California, Bezerkely site. Would you wear electric clothing? What about eclectic clothing (That will teach you to read my blog!)

Also, see about generator knees:

Generate power while you walk

An energy-capturing knee brace can generate enough electricity from walking to operate a portable GPS locator, a cell phone, a motorized prosthetic joint, or an implanted neurotransmitter.

Knee brace device is a bit heavy, but it can help generate electricity.
