Innovation Nation

Overview

From John Stossel's blog: SPACE TRAVEL: People once assumed that only government would, or could, launch people into space. NASA got us to the moon, after all. But that was more than 40 years ago. In the remaining years they haven't sent people to anyplace new. But Bas Lansdorp, of Mars One, plans to send people to Mars in just 10 years. 165,000 people have already signed up. OTHER INNOVATION: James Canton, Institute for Global Futures founder, says the future will bring us many wonderful things, like robot doctors, and Elon Musk's Hyperloop- the high-speed train that promises to get you from LA to San Francisco in 30 minutes. SOCIAL MEDIA: Matt Kibbe runs Freedomworks and uses social media to spread liberty online. Freedomworks runs Facebook posts like this one, showing that Congress passes bills without reading them, and exempts its own staffers from laws. 24-year-old Julie Borowski posts YouTube videos about liberty. They are viewed by hundreds of thousands of people.
