The together. — Jessica Howell. 800. 527.0990 Business Technology Trans- fer (STTR) contract will help UbiQD and the University of Arizona’s Controlled Environ- ment Agriculture Center “fur- ther explore using quantum dots to tailor the spectrum of sunlight for optimized crop growth.” In August 2018, UbiQD was “fi rst awarded a Phase I STTR contract as part of NASA’s strategic mission to advance capabilities in the area of space technology, food production, and more,” and the “successful project demon- strated improved crop yields for red romaine lettuce.” I am always amused that the easy crop to grow is let- tuce, which has no food value at all for an active astronaut. I hope that their “quantum dots” can produce some corn or other useful grain for eating. Speaking of space activities, it is going to cost you a little more to fl y up to space in the world’s largest aircraft with a wingspan equal to a football fi eld. In the October 16 issue of SPACE, it was reported that “the price of a ticket to space on Virgin Galactic’s suborbital Space Ship Two will likely increase as the private space- fl ight company gears up for its fi rst commercial fl ights, Virgin Galactic CEO George White- sides said...at the International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight.” Added Whitesides, “We an- ticipate that the price of the tickets will actually go up once we start selling [more] tickets. What we believe is that we actually underpriced the ticket price a bit in early years, so I think the ticket price will go up for a bit.” I hope you already have your ticket at the original price. I am sensitive to the prob- lem of radiation. I took four graduate courses in nuclear engineering and became aware of the damage that radiation can do to the human body. My oncologist wanted to take yearly CAT scans to check my stomach and other organs for cancer indications. I vetoed my annual CAT scan and allowed the endoscopy to look inside for any possible problems. I didn’t fi nd any looking at the multiple photos of my insides. Neither did the doctors. I am bothered about the problem of charging electric vehicles. The concept in this news report really bothers me: Technology developed by Momentum Dynamics al- lows electric vehicles to partly recharge without wires in 20 minutes by parking on a pad.
