And in its quest to take humans for a space ride, Virgin Galactic is now on the New York Stock Exchange and have patents that will allow them to build hypersonic aircraft, planes that can carry passengers to any place on Earth at speeds faster than sound.  

After projects exploring the capture of asteroids and investigating the origins of biological life, Dr. Bruce Damer returns to the show and speaks of his current initiative in creating a new think tank consortium uniting governments with business and academia, focused on mega-engineering projects for mitigating climate change.

Listen Now to Dr. Future Show 4.21.2015

We got back from NAB with our minds full of amazing new tech and hearts enriched with all the cool folks we met.  Today we share a few stories with you from that trip.  For our interview, we chat  with Zach Polsfuss, Director of Expansion for Higher Brain Living, a new training program for activating higher brain function involving a form of theurapeutic touch and what some might think of as a kundalini awakening.  Zach construes it more as activating higher consciousness by sending energy into the neocortex part of the brain. They are coming to the Bay Area next week Check out one of their demo videos and decide for yourself.  

Also, we talk to Nada Miljkavic, who is producing TEDx Santa Cruz this year with an fantastic lineup of speakers and art performances this coming Friday.  It is a reunion for us, as she used to play “Agent Nada” during the first year of The Dr. Future Show.  Today she shares with us some of the highlights of this Friday’s sold out event at the Rio Theater. The theme this year is Radical Collaboration, and from we have heard so far, they are not kidding!
