nice find.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6972678839686672840&hl=en is fun to watch, too. (networking, tcp/ip, history of internet, bittorrent, and some other stuff thrown into a fun 1:20h talk.)
Don't forget the Apollo program had 400,000 engineers working directly for the program at its peak. It was a national priority. If we did the same thing for figuring out how to get by with renewable resources, and do other good things it would be amazing.
