  • Los Robots En La Sociedad Del Futuro Ariel Palazzesi
    Los robots en la sociedad del futuro Ariel Palazzesi Investigadores españoles han realizado un estudio sobre el impacto que tendrán los robots en la sociedad del futuro. Los resultados son inquietantes: según sus descubrimientos para el año 2020 los robots serán tan “inteligentes” y su interacción con los humanos será tan grande que existirá un desequilibrio tecnológico enorme entre quienes posean o no una estas herramientas. Hemos hablado hasta el cansancio sobre el papel que jugarán (o no) los robots en los conflictos bélicos del futuro. Pero, ¿cómo cambiaran la vida de cada uno de nosotros, en nuestro ámbito laboral o social? Afortunadamente, un equipo de investigadores españoles, liderados por Antonio López Peláez, se ha planteado esta cuestión, llegando a conclusiones sorprendentes sobre el impacto social que tendrá la robótica en las próximas décadas. Antonio López Peláez es un profesor de Sociología de la UNED, que ha entrevistado a expertos en robótica de todo el mundo para obtener un pronóstico de cómo cambiarán nuestra vida diaria los robots. Según la opinión de lo investigadores, en el año 2020 se producirá un punto de inflexión tecnológica, gracias al cual los robots “serán capaces de ver, actuar, hablar, dominar el lenguaje natural y ser más inteligentes. Entonces nuestra relación con ellos será más constante y más cercana”, dice López Peláez. Los autómatas dejarán de ser máquinas sofisticadas que llaman nuestra atención en exposiciones o series de TV para convertirse en herramientas cotidianas que nos ayudarán en las tareas más comunes. Según el investigador, los robots androides que construiremos a partir de ese año, contarán con funciones y niveles de inteligencia tales que se convertirán en compañeros para la especia humana.

  • UK Space Agency Civil Space Strategy 2012-2016
    UK Space Agency Civil Space Strategy An executive agency of the Department of Business, Innovation UK SPACE AGENCY Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN2 1SZ Tel +44(0)207 215 5000 Email [email protected] Web www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency CIVIL SPACE STRATEGY 2012-2016 The UK Space Agency To lead and sustain the growth of the UK Space Sector Foreword A strategy is more than simply words. A strategy demonstrates that we are carefully considering the options available to us; that we have an eye on the long-term, and most importantly, that we are committed to action. We are currently celebrating the 50th anniversary of the UK’s first foray into space, recognizing the pioneers who first ventured into unknown scientific territory with the Ariel-1 satellite. In the intervening half-century, space has become part of our lives. We use its technology to navigate our streets, access the internet and communicate around the globe. And UK space expertise has cemented Britain at the forefront of the exploration of our Universe. We have landed the Huygens probe on Titan, flown by Halley’s comet with the Giotto mission, probed the mysteries of the Universe with Herschel and Planck, and advanced our understanding of planet Earth through the Envisat and Cryosat missions. Today, space continues to be a key sector for Britain’s future. Its economic contribution to the UK economy is impressive. Total space-related turnover was £9.1 billion in 2010/11 (compared to £7.5 billion in 2008/09). This represents a real growth of 15.6% since 2008/09.

  • Bolden Testimony
    HOLD FOR RELEASE UNTIL PRESENTED BY WITNESS November 17, 2011 Statement of The Honorable Charles F. Bolden, Jr. Administrator National Aeronautics and Space Administration before the Subcommittee on Science and Space Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation U. S. Senate Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the outlook for NASA’s human space flight program. This has been a remarkable year, as we have completed assembling and outfitting of the U.S. On-orbit Segment (USOS) of the International Space Station (ISS), allowing us to focus on full utilization of the Station’s research capabilities; taken key steps in moving forward into the future of exploration beyond Low-Earth Orbit (LEO); celebrated the 50 th anniversary of human spaceflight; and witnessed the successful conclusion of the historic Space Shuttle Program. We are also pleased with the progress our industry partners have made in developing an American capability to transport cargo and eventually astronauts to the ISS, and end the outsourcing of this work to foreign governments. More importantly, this will add a critical level of redundancy for transporting cargo and crew to the ISS. A robust transportation architecture is important to ensuring full utilization of this amazing research facility. Enabling commercial crew and cargo transportation systems in LEO allows NASA to focus on developing its own systems for sending astronauts on missions of exploration beyond LEO. This split between commercial and Government systems allows for a cost effective approach to promote a broad base for human exploration by the United States.

    It's a day of farewells for 2 space crews 28 July 2009, By MARCIA DUNN , AP Aerospace Writer In this image from NASA TV Astronaut Tom Marshburn is seen during a spacewalk on the international space station, Monday, July 27, 2009. (AP Photo/NASA TV) (AP) -- They've spent the past one-and-a-half weeks together in space, and now it's time for two teams of astronauts to say goodbye. The hatches between the linked shuttle Endeavour and international space station will be sealed late Tuesday morning. Then early in the afternoon, Endeavour will pull away and its seven astronauts will begin preparing for a landing on Friday. Among those headed home is Japanese spaceman Koichi Wakata, who's been in orbit since March. NASA astronaut Timothy Kopra replaced him aboard the space station. The Endeavour crew is leaving after delivering and installing a new porch and experiments for Japan's lab, and giving the space station some fresh batteries.
