The American Spirit of Innovation

Innovation lies at the heart of the American spirit -- it's an integral part of our growing economy, and a core value in space science and research. Over the 20th century, however, the cost of innovation has skyrocketed, leaving our inventors and scientists with only two options -- competing for risky government funding, or dealing with increasingly unscrupulous sources of venture-capital. American Antigravity was founded to provide an alternative path to success. American Antigravity serves as an advocate for inventors and scientists working in breakthrough propulsion and space sciences. Our news and networking services provide information to build community collaboration in the development of new technologies, and our networking abilities help connect innovators with peer-level expertise from both inside the community as well as through cross-pollination with other areas of expertise.

Our coverage of emerging propulsion technologies is unique -- instead of the surface-level coverage you've come to expect from the mainstream media, we build relationships with innovators to convey not only the technical details about their work, but also the vision and committment to excellence each of them carries inside. Sharing that vision is important, as it sets a context for their research, and builds public trust in their character.

"Innovation lies at the heart of the American spirit -- it's an integral part of our growing economy, and a core value in space science and research."

Mainstream science is afraid of Antigravity -- it has a science-fiction stigma associated with it that devalues the brilliant research currently being conducted in this field. This stigma means that innovators working in this area have to fight twice as hard for half the recognition of traditional scientists.

Funding for Antigravity projects has traditionally been scarce, and its one of the reasons that American Antigravity is collecting your tax-deductible donations to conduct several key experiments in this field. We recognize and appreciate the value of your donations, which is why we use a panel of scientific experts to ensure that the projects being funded are top-quality experiments based on the top-quality ideas.

Small-scale Antigravity effects have been documented for years, but it takes an organized approach to coordinating effort and information to achieve large-scale breakthroughs. Breaking the bounds of gravity may be a difficult task, but the rewards are boundless -- Antigravity has the potential to solve America's pressing challenges in transportation, and make the Jetson's skycar a practical reality.

Who owns Antigravity? We believe that by providing advocacy for innovators and publicity for worthy ideas that we've found a healthy compromise between proprietary business-knowledge and the public trust. Most innovators are fully invested in their work -- both financially and emotionally -- but they often lose the rights to their ideas when they partner with investors to perform even a single experiment. Our hope is that by providing financial support for breakthrough ideas that we can offset this spiral of defeat, and let innovators conduct the breakthrough research that they've dedicated themselves to without losing their idea in the process.
