   I was reading somewhere that a company has patented a new battery technology   
   that can hold 100 times more power per gram than current batteries do and it   
   can be charged in under 6 minutes and will not wear out like current   
   batteries do.   
      
   Thinking more on that subject I was thinking of the future implications of   
   some of the technologies that are coming up.   
   Imagine when this happens  it would/could cure our environment problems and   
   clear up all envioment problems because our cars could finally run of   
   batteries and there would be no draw backs.   
   Mix this in with the new solar panels Ive been reading about which also use   
   smaller nano technology and are surpose to be  30% more efficient then   
   imagine the future.   No reliance on the middle east for oil.(while much   
   anyway).   
      
   I just wondered how and where you think these types of advancements in nano   
   technologies will lead to and how you think it will effect our efficiency in   
   space travel.   
   Anybody got any likely but serious predictions for the future.?
