The Right Stuff: Techies Go Trekky
from the geeeeeeeeeeks-in-spaaaaaaaaace dept
theodp writes "Today's captains of high tech grew up viewing space as the final frontier, only to see NASA grow meek once the Cold War fizzled. Now older and richer, Wired reports the geeks are about to conquer outer space. And the addition of an ex-Amazon lawyer to the Bezos-led effort leaves little doubt that space travel will be patented." To be honest, this article reads almost identical to the one we posted a month and a half ago about geeks in space (minus the stuff about Bezos patenting his space exploration plans).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
