Dr. Buzz Aldrin
National Space Society Board of Governors
Buzz Aldrin is best known as the second man to set foot on the Moon. His interest in space flight began at home. His parents, Marion Moon and Edwin Eugene Aldrin, were intimately connected with early space flight, as his father was a student of rocket pioneer Robert Goddard. Mr. Aldrin received his undergraduate education at West Point, graduating with honor in 1951. After receiving his wings, he flew Sabre Jets in 66 combat missions in Korea. He has also earned a doctorate in Astronautics from MIT in Manned Space Rendezvous, where his innovations in Manned Space Rendezvous techniques continue to be standard procedure to this day. In 1963, NASA chose Mr. Aldrin to become one its early astronauts. He was in the first crew to orbit the earth, where he again made major improvements by advancing operational techniques for astronautical navigation star display. Mr. Aldrin is most famous, however, for his assignment as lunar module pilot on Apollo 11, the historic first lunar landing-mission in July 1969. His responsibilities included monitoring lunar module systems while commander Neil Armstrong concentrated on landing. After Mr. Aldrin joined Mr. Armstrong on the surface of the Moon, they set up science experiments and gathered rock samples. Mr. Aldrin has authored Men From Earth and Return to Earth based on his astronaut experience. In 1996, he co-authored his first science fiction novel with John Barnes, Encounter with Tiber. Their second novel, The Return, a technothriller about the real vulnerabilities of the nation’s space program, was published in 2001. Mr. Aldrin has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and more than 50 other distinguished awards. He is President of Starcraft Enterprises and has made numerous television appearances spanning the media’s full scope of entertainment, including David Letterman, Rosie O’Donnell, Larry King Live, CNN, and all the major networks. He continues to work towards sustained space exploration, designing both space stations and unique systems such as “The Cycler,” a space complex that would orbit perpetually between the Earth and Mars.
Dr. Aldrin graduated from Montclair High School, Montclair, New Jersey; received a bachelor of science degree in 1951 from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, graduating third in his class; and a doctorate of science in Astronautics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge. His thesis was "Guidance for Manned Orbital Rendezvous." Aldrin has honorary degrees from six colleges and universities. Aldrin has received numerous decorations and awards, including the Presidential Medal for Freedom in 1969, the Robert J. Collier Trophy, the Robert H. Goddard Memorial Trophy, and the Harmon International Trophy in 1967.
Dr. Aldrin was one of the third group of astronauts named by NASA in October 1963. On November 11, 1966, he and command pilot James Lovell were launched into space in the Gemini 12 spacecraft on a 4-day flight, which brought the Gemini program to a successful close. Aldrin established a new record for extravehicular activity (EVA), spending 5-1/2 hours outside the spacecraft. He served as lunar module pilot for Apollo 11, July 16-24, 1969, the first manned lunar landing mission. Aldrin followed Neil Armstrong onto the lunar surface on July 20, 1969, completing a 2-hour and 15 minute lunar EVA. In July 1971, Aldrin resigned from NASA. Aldrin has logged 289 hours and 53 minutes in space, of which, 7 hours and 52 minutes were spent in EVA.

7. 鲍尔.韦布斯(Paul Werbos)
l 美国国家科学基金,能源项目主管
l 美国哈佛大学经济学博士
在中学和高中期间学习了很多大学的课程,后来更跟着著名的数学和逻辑学家Alonzo Church学习了关于逻辑的研究生课程,这些都为他成为一名数学家奠定了基础。当知道了推理逻辑对研究的限制之后,他开始探索归纳逻辑和智能方面的知识。凭借用数理经济学模型研究分布智能及其他更深的认识,使他在哈佛和伦敦政治经济学院获得了两个经济学学位。在哈佛攻读理科硕士期间,他师从Julian Schwinger学习了关于量子场论的课程,但直到他在美国国家科学基金开展了关于量子科技和模型方面的活动之后,他才真正明白这方面的知识(详见他在http://arxiv.org/上的文章)。1974年,在他哈佛大学的博士论文(1994年The Roots of Backpropagation转载)里,他提出了更有影响力,并且从生物学角度来说更有道理的强化学习系统——通过将模拟脑神经元网络运用到包括价值函数在内的ADP研究中,这在当时是非常新颖的思想。为了开展从生物学上局部可行的ADP研究,他将Freud的精神能量理论翻译成后来被称为反向传播的算法以及关于有序导数的链式法则,这种链式法则是一种严密的综合理论,后来成为自动微分和电路级微分里非常有名的倒序法或者伴随法。他在推进ADP研究、反向传播算法和类大脑预测方面花费了很多时间,目的在于拓展并展示能够真实解释一般智力——能够在大脑中或者人类主观实践中观察到的智力的设计,同时提出利用生物实验来检验这些理论。为了寻求能源、持续发展和空间领域的实际运用,他深入这些领域,详见http://www.werbos.com/,担任了美国国家太空协会、千年计划、Lifeboat基金会以及美国电气和电子工程师协会能源政策委员会的委员,同时他还是2009年美国参议院的议员。1980-1989年间,他提出了两个重要的计量预测模型(两个模型都基于反向传播算法),同时担任美国电子工业协会(隶属于美国能源部)未来长期计划的首席分析员。他是美国电气和电子工程师协会(IEEE)和国际神经网络协会(INNS)会员,曾获得美国电气和电子工程师协会神经网络先驱奖和国际神经网络协会2011Hebb奖,其中Hebb奖是国际神经网络协会的最高奖项,用于鼓励为生物学习系统领域作出突出贡献的人们。
Dr. Paul Werbos
Paul Werbos began training as a mathematician, taking many university courses culminating in the graduate course in logic from Alonzo Church at Princeton while in middle and high school. Realizing the limits of deductive logic, he began his quest to understand inductive logic and intelligence in the mind back in those days. He obtained two degrees in economics from Harvard and the London School of Economics, divided equally between using mathematical economics as a model for distributed intelligence and developing some broader understanding. For his Harvard M.S., he took courses in quantum field theory (QFT) from Julian Schwinger, but did not fully understand the subject until many years later, after he started an activity in quantum technology and modeling at NSF (see his papers at http://arxiv.org/.) For his 1974 Harvard PhD thesis (reprinted in The Roots of Backpropagation, Wiley 1994), he proposed the development of more powerful, more biologically plausible reinforcement learning systems by the then new idea of using neural networks to approximate dynamic programming (ADP), including the value function. In order to implement ADP in a local biologically plausible manner, he translated Freud's theory of "psychic energy" into an algorithm later called backpropagation, and a rigorous general theorem, the chain law for ordered derivatives, which later also became known as the reverse method or adjoint method for automatic or circuit-level differentiation. He has spent many years advancing the fields of ADP and backpropagation and brain-like prediction, aimed at developing and demonstrating the kind of designs which could actually explain the kind of general intelligence we see in the brain and in subjective human experience, and proposing biological experiments to test the theory. In looking for applications which are really important to areas like energy, sustainability and space, he has also gotten deep into domain issues and organization, as reflected at http://www.werbos.com/, serving on boards of the National Space Society, the Millennium Project, the Lifeboat Foundation, and the IEEE Energy Policy Committee, and as a Fellow in the Senate in 2009. From 1980-1989, he developed official econometric forecasting models (two based on backpropagation) and was lead analyst for the long-term future at EIA in the Department of Energy. He is a Fellow of IEEE and INNS, a winner of the IEEE Neural Networks Pioneer Award and winner of the Hebb Award for 2011 from the International Neural Network Society (INNS). The Hebb Award is INNS's highest award, to honor substantive contributions to the understanding of biological learning systems.

Marty Hoffert wrote the landmark 2002 article in the journal Science that concluded global warming was a clean energy problem, not a regulation problem. He is Professor Emeritus of Physics and former Chair of the Department of Applied Science at New York University. He holds a B.S. (1960) in aeronautical engineering from the University of Michigan; an M.S. (1964) and Ph.D. (1967) in astronautics from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn; and a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (1969) from the New School for Social Research where he did graduate work in sociology and economics. He has published broadly in fluid mechanics, plasma physics, oceanography, planetary atmospheres, climatic change, solar and wind energy and space solar power. His geophysical research includes the ocean/climate model first employed by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to assess global warming for different scenarios of fossil fuel use. His energy research includes laboratory and full-scale experiments on wind turbines, photovoltaic hydrogen production and wireless power transmission for solar power satellites. His present efforts focus on sustainable carbon-neutral technologies to power high-tech civilization consilient with a biodiverse planet. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Marty was recently featured on the New York Times Dot Earth blog, where he was also shown discussing the Department of Energy's new energy R&D agency, ARPA-E.
