Hmmmm... Well, we have a think tank that covers the spectrum of humanity.
We try to connect the right people together. Our main goal is to help man help himself.
You can contribute in an area you already excel in... or have fun with sumpin' new.
If you get familiar with our sites:
http://membrane.com/welcome2.html
http://membrane.com/man.html
...and some of our friends...
http://membrane.com/video/roster.html
You can get a feel for it all... maybe?
And if we start to build a webpage with you,
we can get an idea of you.
What do ya say?

A diversion...a.k.a.-Think-tank talk on Mars:
There has been an intermittently active plan for some 3 decades to colonize Mars, complete with extant surface vehicles and surface atmosphere-generating technology. While never involved directly in these plans, I've been party to discussions among those who were, beginning in the 70's at SRI international. Never quite discerned a fundamental rationale for the priority on this undertaking.
The utility of the recent life on Mars announcements struck me as typical (if also true) subterfuge to further justify this long range colonization goal. I'll be interested to see if somebody goes public soon with statements about the Mars colonization plan. Never seen a president go so immediately, enthusiastically and directly public on a scientific issue like this i.e., Uncle Bill's press statements on the topic. Hm.
Well, there's my three fingers of two cents plain. Nice work on yer web pages. Holler if you'd like to banter on this or related topics: I've been out with "blue teams" a half dozen times and might have some contextual observations of interest.
Sidd replies to Doc...
I dunno if Dan Goldin is really tryin to get more money for a colonization project or just tryin to amass political leverage... if Clinton wants to make a kennedyesque gesture with mars replacing the moon ...?!
Rather than spending oodles of money I think that they should go look for more mars rocks in antartica first...
Perhaps modify one of the scheduled missions to mars to return some samples... although returning to earth may make the mission lot more expensive...? Mebbe not...
Manned missions are not an immediate possibility...
We have the technology I think but an extensive period of testing
life support mechanisms for a multi year trip would be
most reassuring...
Although it is nice to speculate about, I dont think that anybody is going to allot money to terraform Mars just yet.
