Interview with Dr. Bradley C. Edwards

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the no-elevator-like-caffeine dept.

Keith Curtis writes "I recently discovered that Dr. Bradley C. Edwards, noted expert on the Space Elevator pays $4 for coffee at the same Starbucks that I do. I asked him if he would meet up with me and chat and he graciously agreed. I recorded the interview for posterity. In our wide-ranging conversation we talked about NASA politics, getting energy from space, location, space tourism, software, nanotech, and several other topics."

    ... would anyone in Seattle, of all places, drink Starbucks? Starbucks is what I drink in the Kansas City airport, for Peet's (sic) sake.

    All the good local shops around here, and you rocket-scientist types go to Starbucks? How un-hipsterishistic.

    You can buy good coffee for a lot less than that; $4 a coffee and a similar amount for a muffin adds up rapidly.
