robotics is huge and theres a whole platform opportunity there with some kind of operating system and then all the apps. Japan has been having robot contests for years and it looks like the US is finally catching up. For the terrain issues the US has an advantage with our GPS technology so this race is not lost. Here's the high school contest usfirst.org Darpa contest robots.net Nanotech is also promising and I don't think its so far out in terms of producing companies. Some applied materials executives have joined the incubator nanosys out here. nanotech-now.com There might be a government sponsored event in alternative fuels I heard also. I can't find anything yet though. As far as manned Mars missions I honestly think we shouldn't attempt that before we master time travel! No kidding. If the US needs a "corporate mission statement" like JFKs moon thing then the objective should be to get a robot that works for Darpa. We're pretty far away from that goal.
