Howard Lovy’s calling for some serious work in the area of molecular manufacturing or capitulation.

”If molecular manufacturing is possible, then how about an Apollo-style project to build the thing before somebody else does it first—a nation or group that does not trouble itself over issues like societal and ethical implications. If it’s found to be impossible, then let’s permanently incarcerate the idea for the crimes of breaking the laws of physics and crying ”goo” in a crowded policy theater. Then we can finally give the nano name completely over to the chemicals, manufacturing, biotech and defense industries—with no underlying, pioneering sense of purpose other than to make lots of neat stuff and loads of money.”
