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.

The Virtual Office
Marty: Look, Andy, at least come to the meeting wearing VR clothing. I know you like medieval times. Pretend it’s second life, and tell your VR Marvela to dress you in some sparkling blue-green coat of anodized aluminum. You know, like the chain-mail that knights of old used to wear, only finer.
Andy: I’m in my natural state, always up, awake, and ready for our mid-morning gab session with the bean counters.
Marty: Okay, bro, I get it. I’m using Sir-iah, and I look great! I’m at the office dressed to the heinz. I have octopi tentacles for fingers, my head is the swirling atmospheric mass of Jupiter, and my body is an asteroid cargo fuselage. I’m sitting on some rockets, and when I leave this VR office, I will fire them off, because later today I’m climbing into the cockpit of my JP Aerospace Ascender and heading up to Dark Sky Station Twelve for a jaunt to my mining ops in the asteroid belt. Be back to work in seven years or so, because of a little excursion I’m planning beyond the belt with an experimental fusion drive. Have fun at mom’s tomorrow.
Q: When will each of these cool things show up? Some quite soon. See Comments for the Answers.

Saving Pongsats on CapnT’s Journey to Jupiter
While JP Aerospace (see, @JohnMPowell1 ) has flown 18 thousand student experiments to the edge of space, all free to the student, the hundreds of Pongsats on a 2012 flight were on the list for kybash by the Imperial Demanderman of the 24th Century. Join CapnT on his voyage to Jupiter, as he tries to prevent Pongsat 2012 destruction. https://youtu.be/2Nf5XX85RAg
More Permanent Space Travel
Something spinning to provide a feeling of gravity, the Spinship. Rotates one or two degrees of arc per second depending on diameter. More about it at The Space Trade
This Airship Went to Space
Yep, the edge of space if you count official space as 100 km. But really space conditions can exist much lower. This JP Aerospace airship headed up to 95,085 feet above MSL (mean sea level), back when it was legal to control a ship up there. Gotta get an OK from the FAA nowadays. Here’s the link: The Tandem Airship

How to Leave Your Mother
Help our Mother Earth by leaving her for space. Going to need propulsion like the JP Aerospace MHD for the plasma rocket.
