It's been 14 years since my last post in this blog!
The first half of that was thanks to the company I helped found, Deep Space Industries, who argued that my ideas belonged to the company and should not be published except in forms that benefitted DSI.
I certainly continued to be active in Space Settlement stuff, and in Asteroid Mining, and attended (and gave talks) to many space conferences, some hobbyist, some academic. I was DSI's "Director of Research and Development", won multiple NASA contracts (team efforts), and opened the DSI Lab in Orlando, Florida, to be close to our partners at the University of Central Florida and, of course, to NASA at Kennedy Space Center. We closed our Florida lab when the last of our active NASA contracts completed on 30-JUN-2018.
The next 7 years I've spent traveling with - and entertaining - my wife, Doris, who has needed my full-time attention as her condition deteriorates (the doctors prefer "progresses"). We are now back in Dayton, Ohio, her home town which is where I met her and spent 17+ years before moving to Dublin, Ohio for 7 years then to St. Augustine, FL for 10+ years, then to Orlando for four more. When I retired from DSI, we bought a 40' Diesel RV and travelled the USA visiting friends and relatives, without a permanent home. Yes, I grew a beard to look properly "homeless".
I've settled down enough to start writing blog posts again. I've got a lot I've been working on, and I plan to share it all on this blog.
I'm back!
