CAP Squadron 80 Aerospace Education

This site is intended as a log of Aerospace Education activity in the Civil Air Patrol,
California Wing, San Jose Senior Squadron 80. As such, it will probably be of limited
interest to anyone outside of that organization (and even to many within it), but feel
free to poke around anyway.

We apologize in advance for the utter lack of salacious content. But since there is no shortage
of other sites that will be happy to cater to that need, we won't be losing any sleep over it.

Presentation: September 2015

This month's AE presenter: Jeff
Date of presentation: 28-Sept-2015
Subject: Truly World-Wide Web
Description: Jeff's presentation for September discussed the possibility of making Internet access widely available even in remote areas of the world. Even if the local economy can't support a traditional Internet infrastructure (cable TV, fiber optic lines, etc.), aerial options may still exist. Google is experimenting with balloons that carry a telecom payload, Facebook is designing solar-powered drones, and other companies are thinking about creating constellations of communication satellites, all of which serve to tie this presentation in to the "aerospace" mission.
