  1. Thank you Mr Isaacson for your very interesting interview with NASA Administrator Mr Nelson, this is about the Earth and not space, but it would be great if Mr Nelson had something to say about it. I am an inventor and artist and here is an idea I have for the drought conditions in California and the American west and other parts of the world. It is an idea about getting water to drought-stricken regions. Here is my idea. What about having water pipes installed under the major highways and/or train tracks from the water-rich regions to the drought-stricken regions in your state and other parts of your country and the world? It would make roads and train tracks get two things done at the expense of one thing; roads and train tracks would have a dual purpose and save money tearing up more land to make room for yet another ugly eye sore of endless piping that would mar the landscape and cost a fortune to install and maintain. These would be the new equivalent of the ancient Roman aqueducts that could be concealed under roads and rail lines. Hydraulically pumps could vacuum in water---like in the recent NYC flood and send it out west, or simply pumping water from, say, the Great Lakes. Concealed pumps could be set up all along the underground aqueduct system at specific intervals to be able to keep the water moving on uneven terrain, over hills and overpasses etc. There are already train tunnels and car tunnels so they wouldn't have to build more tunnels, in fact, the infrastructure in your country is going to get a make-over soon it seems, so they could add the water pipes under the already existing highways and rail lines and bridges they are going to be renovating. They could outfit the new bridges they're going to be building with the water piping encased and concealed under the tracks and road. The underground aqueducts could be activated at a moment's notice and it would be a win/win situation because money would be saved from regions that had extreme flooding avoided and drought-stricken regions would be saved by getting the water to parched farmlands and dangerously low reservoirs that is badly needed. Environmentalists might be convinced it won't harm the natural world and if they get on board, it could help at least in a small way to get needed water to regions that are experiencing drought conditions. It's an idea to solve the fresh water problem and maybe even prevent future water-wars
