I would lose myself in spinship economics, but for my plan to write fiction with Cle' Curbo. Sometimes I eat food, and sleep. I desire to see the human race mature to care for our mother earth, and wean ourselves to space for her sake. I love to experiment with my garden of earthly delightful plants. I grow heritage apple varieties. I strive to love all the people all the time, but I am not powerful enough to do so. End right side amygdala. Space alien! is like shouting "squirrel" to a dog. The left side of the amygdala is awakened. Care, dream, plan, do. All thinking and doing is by trial and error. 99 point 999 percent of all accomplishments are prep. Find something you like. Love comes later.

Bird’s Eye View

The roving arial camera captures a revealing view of the launch, and the launch facility at JP Aerospace’s Area-42 in Nevada. The name came from a salute to Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and the fact that the facility is 42 acres in size.

Bel, the Polite Synth Mind

Bel requires set commands be politely spoken and confirmed, otherwise she won’t respond. As we learn to live and work with synth minds, JP seems to have concluded that mutual respect, civility, is necessary to smooth and safe operation of the submarine he’s operating.

Another Crazy Remote Location

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10226582118878758&id=1220203458&sfnsn=mo

It’s a big broad desert valley east of Hwy 80 in Nevada. Here’s where we launch the packages people send us. About a third of the way to orbit consistently, or we relaunch for free. From PongSats to Minicubes, to Cubesats by grad students, it’s serious, satisfying work-fun. JP Aerospace has also flown the only one of its kind FAA certified dirigible. A previous dirigible set the world high altitude record for dirigible flight when it reached 95085 feet MSL. Its great fun, and promotes the experimental path to a green, low cost method of achieving orbit. – L Paul Turner, author of The Space Trade, and The Space Trade Update.

Space Chair Launch

The creative people of Grey of London let us give Toshiba of Europe a space chair launch. The shot looking down at the car trail of dust is one of the best unplanned interferences. We still don’t know which denizen of the Black Rock desert was driving it.

Good Night, Moonbase

Noted aerospace engineer Brett Hoffstadt loved, as many have, Goodnight, Moon, a beloved children’s book. Now we are seeing a move to the moon this decade, and increasing interest in matters of space venturing. In November, 2021, Brett will publish, “Good Night Moonbase.” To kick off this event, he’s giving anyone free access to get an associated coloring booklet.

Wind Causes Wind Ramp Deployment

The strange 3 tube construction is a wind ramp, designed to create a pocket of no wind, or at least to reduce gusts to light breezes. All this for the goal of inflating the Ascender-36, not shown. The inflation was partly successful, about 3/4 of the V-shaped ascender was puffed up. Videos of that ascender are on the JP Aerospace YouTube channel.

Three Stage System to Orbit

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1161674851013284

John Powell, JP Aerospace, created the system to space. Only the last stage is left untold, the release of the Orbital Transfer Vehicle (Space Ferrycraft) from the wing of the orbital ascender. The ferrycraft climbs to a spinship in LEO, or is grabbed by a larger OTV, which hauls the ascender-released ferrycraft to, for example, a translunar spinship (aka, turnship) where mined space resources are refined.
