James Joel Miller really transformed my short stories into a symphony of literature. Or so I feel. I hope you do too.

Scott gives the nod to JP Aerospace and its Ascender design as a means for a more controlled and cooler descent from orbit. About 11 minutes into the video.

The first book in the 3 part Forever Loves Series.

Teachers and parents of science students may ask their high schools to enter the contest. Sponsored by Sacramento L5 Society, a chapter of the National Space Society. Lift to approximately 80000 to 100000 feet above Mean Sea Level provided by JP Aerospace. See, also JPAerodpace.com

Here is one of the more serious tongue in cheek episodes of Appaloosa Radio.Productions on YouTube, complete with musical theater. Serious work in math at its finest tap along.

First time I’ve heard JPA publicly announce the Ascender as an air launch. It goes more than three times as high as any other air launch system before firing the Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV) into space.

Sci-fi excerpt from Quest for Sylvane set to music and an android speech master.

JP and I disagree on the questions of life in the universe. I tend to take the viewpoint that there are no intelligent aliens in our Milk Way Galaxy. But, I’m only 80 percent certain that my viewpoint is true. And, with new ideas about the age of the universe, I may change my opinion. So far, the age that brought us into being was only possible when minerals had been formed. That apparently didn’t happen in the first rendition of star systems. Only the second age of star systems, the age we are in now, gave us the heavier elements, minerals, necessary for life as we know it.

JP’s view, if I may interpret it, is that life is to be found everywhere in the universe, and that probably includes intelligent life.

The question of when we are going to spot aliens from outer space has been on the minds of many of us ever since 1951, when physicist Enrico Fermi, while having lunch with colleagues asked where are they? Why haven’t we seen aliens from space. They should be here by now, but there is no evidence of them.

Here’s an article to ruminate over that event.

Logan inside the submarine and me at the checklist. The sub is ai equipped to carry out tasks the crew would under commands from the captain. In this video, Logan acts as captain and I’m on the checklist.

The sub is built as an analog to prepare for building JPA’s next space bound crew capsule.

Check out the video and discover the many wonders of JP Aerospace, America’s other space program.
