Thought of you and Destiny when I read this article on Ridley Scott.

Money quote from Scott, "I am continuously looking for that so if anyone has got a science fiction script in their briefcase, give it to me.".

Hi Shane,
I saw the same article! I just got his UK mailing address and will attempt to contact him re: Destiny. Keep your fingers crossed!
Cheers,
Graham

Great story Graham!
I hope you find the means to turn it into a movie or a book. I would love to watch it or read it!
How did you like the singularity summit? I had read Kurzweil's books but I had never had a chance to go to a conference until now, I loved it!

The Destiny's plot is not science fiction anymore.
An investment was made but the idea of a collaborative thinking space lost the battle in our schools.
