How i see itIf one takes the time to reasearch each individual involved from the nex optics/spectum optics team to the team of ruda cardinal i believe you will be left with a decorated team in their field with a history of momentus achievments. I would love to see a detailed post dicrediting any of the people involved.
Once done, move onto technology. The 10 years journey begining with focusing light to aid solar panels, relizing they have stumbled onto something that could potentially much more. Their road travelled is easy to find to if not familiar. along the way the above team was sought after and in the end revealed a technology which drastically reduced the size of the mordern day telescope. I would enjoy to see a post picking about the negatives of their journey or the poc they revieled on the 4th. This technology works and one cant refute the giant leap forward in the application to telescopes, for both personal/industrial/commercial use.
The next big step is for nex optics to prove its scalabilty. The team which has created a telescope the of equal strength of the modern day equivilant but able to make it 10 times smaller. If this technology is scaled using geometry as they claim, then im hopeful if they can minimize a telescope by 10 times what can they do when applying to other lense features.
I believe we had an unveiling which who ever attended left with great excitement. I can say this as i experienced the unveil and the energy of the crowd, from the standing ovation at the end of the presentation to the buzz from the crowd as we left the space center.
Nex optics inveiled their POC which works and does take a giant leap in the technology of telescopes. If they would have started with cameras in smart phones this would be a different story as we stand. The POC is the first working lense and will no doubt get better as we move forward. I believe there is a window as we stand, tho the telescope poc did prove itself, the excitment lies in the cellphone camera at the moment. i believe this is where people see big money/potential. so we have this window of people hoping their is a deal announced or a pre release of where they stand with cell phone tech. in this window doubt can be instilled easily with the constant posts grasping at anything to descredit. and this is what we see today.
Yes always be skeptical, but do so in providing solid facts to where we can all benifit. So lets focus on everyone involved and the milestone of a working proto type. once you have completed reasearching the above, i dont see how one can see these individuals or company as scam artists. these are now the straws that are being grasped at.
Claims of over spending for publicity as a negative, with new tech that seemed impossible not long ago i believe getting proper coverage and eyes to view what has been accomplished is a positive. Claims their financials are an uphill battle. Any new tech company is faced the same hurdles, if cell phone market alone is attained i belive the financials woes will be old news.
I feel there has been an ample amount of posts boasting for nex optics and team though much of it burried. I try to see both sides of coin but i feel the negatives which have been presented dont stand uo to the ground breaking tech or team it faces.
