FIFTY YEARS AGO APOLLO 11 SHOT FOR THE MOON. TO MARK THAT anniversary Newsweek is spotlighting current pioneers in science and technology pursuing goals almost as ambitious. Nova Spivack's dreams are the stuff of science fiction but he's serious about making them real. Spivack, a successful tech entrepreneur, is chairman of the Arch Mission Foundation-Arch pronounced as in "archive."

Like the bottom of the ocean. Or the Moon.
