TD: I was speaking to someone last year at NASA (because I was trying to track you down for a different Warp story I was writing), and they told me at the time that you left for the private sector and took your entire body of work on Warp propulsion with you. Is that accurate?
SW: Yeah, I have a lab here full of all my goodies from NASA. And so, we have a space act agreement with the agency. And as part of that, we have all the lab equipment at Eagleworks over here.
TD: All intellectual property, everything? You were able to take everything with you?
SW: Yeah. When I was working in NASA, we really didn’t try to go through and patent anything. Almost everything we worked on while at NASA fits into the category of Basic and Applied Science.
NASA does nothing anymore without first doing a Major Diversity Study
