Nothing is more beautiful than seeing your dreams, your plans, actually come to life, however immense they may have seemed initially. Rome July
2020
I have always been convinced that the interaction between the various areas of my passions was an engine of emotions and creations without limits. Once again I have direct confirmation of this,
seeing engineering, art, science, economics, mathematics, structures, knowledge of group interactions between professionals and visionaries is an explosion of continuous enthusiasm.

hier, hier, wo ich versprochen habe
hier, wo die Zeit stehen bleibt
hier, wo Flügel nicht benötigt werden
hier, wo das Herz schwebt
hier ist noch hier
Immediately after the shock of the sputnik launch, the USA built the famous
ARPA. Its job was to “anticipate the unimagined weapons of the
future”. How it was to do so was unclear. The agency ended up shaping the
modern world, helping to create missile defence and
stealth technology, as well as the internet, the personal computer, the laser
and gps. It did so by rejecting normal procedures. Project managers were
given enormous freedom to spend money on what they saw as the most promising
technologies, creating communities of brilliant researchers united by a common
vision.
ARPA tackled national-security problems
unencumbered by bureaucratic oversight and uninhibited by the
restraints of scientific review.
It takes a structure that brings together the best scientific minds, with breadth of funds for research and
decision-making ability in a very short time. Furthermore, one must be aware that out of 100 projects (for example) supported, perhaps only one or two will lead to real
success.
The success of the original ARPA was the product
of a unique confluence of historical circumstance, government imperative and
individual genius. Indeed, ARPA has struggled to reach its early heights, partly because
of
its more limited remit.
As arpa demonstrates, unlikely bets do
sometimes come off.
Il recente incidente nucleare accaduto in Russia sarebbe direttamente legato allo sviluppo di un sistema di arma missilistica a larghissima autonomia basato su un
propulsore nucleare. Qualcosa che è molto affine a un progetto sviluppato negli Stati Uniti negli anni sessanta , lo SLAM , che venne poi accantonato . (maggiori notizie su uno dei miei blog al link
