News and current affairs

As a visiting professor at Harvard and MIT, I am getting a good preview of what the world could look like when the crisis finally passes.

I just took it for granted that, by the time I was, say, 40, space travel would be a common thing.

A few years ago, however, I started paying attention to space again.

Eventually, I invested in Space Adventures, the company that organized Shuttleworth's trip into space.

Space Adventures was pushing for 2009, but I was pretty busy.

HONG KONG - A recent trip to Berlin brought back memories of an earlier visit in the summer of 1967, when I was a poor student who marveled at the Wall that would divide and devastate an entire society for another two decades.

Berlin today is vibrant and rejuvenated, rebuilt by the German peoples' hard work and sacrifice to unify the country, and an apt setting for the conference of the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), which I was there to attend.

In 1977, when I served in President Jimmy Carter's State Department, I was sent to India to dissuade that country's leaders from developing a nuclear bomb.

I said that Pakistan would inevitably follow suit and the world would become less safe.

But revelations about the nuclear weapons smuggling network organized by A. Q. Khan, the father of Pakistan's bomb, confirm the danger I predicted back then.

I am aware that Judge Goldstone, a dedicated and unimpeachable human rights lawyer and advocate, shared similar concerns when he was initially approached.

According to Mexican and Chilean officials I have discussed the matter with, spending from a stabilization fund is reportedly treated as if the country is borrowing, thus adding to its deficit.

In fact, my formal residence is in New York City, but I am about to spend most of the next five months in Russia, training to be a cosmonaut in Star City, just outside Moscow.

First of all, as a kid, I just assumed that I would go to the moon, without having to do much in particular to make it happen.

My father was involved with the United States space program, and we had some moon rocks at home, so I thought it was no big deal.

Then I got distracted for about 40 years.

Jeff Greason, a senior manager at Intel, started XCOR Aerospace (in which I'm an investor).

Meanwhile, in about 2005, I was in South Africa with a small group advising former President Thabo Mbeki and his government about its IT policy.

The kids loved it, and I'm sure some of them decided then and there to study math and science.

Later, I went on a tour that they organized to watch the launch of Charles Simonyi, the fifth (and soon seventh) space tourist, from Baikonur in Kazakhstan.

A couple of weeks later, I was faced with one of those conflicts: a board meeting here, a conference there, another opportunity at the same time somewhere else.
