Recommendation
To find solutions to problems on Earth, humankind may need to travel to Mars. Planet Labs program manager Joe Mascaro examines “lateral innovation” – a “nontraditional approach” to problem solving. Persuasively citing innovations in Earth imaging, 3D printing, and other developing technologies, Mascaro’s vision is clear, accessible and forward-thinking. getAbstract recommends this article to technology strategists, leaders in science and innovators with an eye to the future.
