Gerry Griffin, Gerald Nordley, Rod Pyle, and many others recall the final steps on the moon of Apollo 17 from 50 years ago. It’s time to return to the lunar surface for the benefit of all humankind. – L Paul Turner, author of The Space Trade Update. http://www.thespacetrade.com

I would lose myself in spinship economics, but for my plan to write fiction with Cle' Curbo, who won 1st Place in Sci-Fi in 2021 (Writers Digest self-published e-book category). The human race must 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 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.

Oh the loving work that went into building, hauling and launching the Ascender 9 Airship from JPA Area 42. All in 26 seconds.
My Fav Cup of Tea
My fav cup of tea is when I share time with Space Kitten, and dream of building starships. Once you Float to Space, you board the turnship torus and head out beyond translunar. Or, beyond, as in Quest for Sylvane. Available on Barnes and Noble Press (print on demand).

JP does this so easily. My stickers, like my postage stamps, usually fall onto the surface sideways.

More High Altitude Instruction from the Sky Inventor
JP is at his best when describing aspects of his team’s more than 200 launches.
Musk is Right
Dr. Hossenfelder, my fav presenter of difficult concepts, ably gives us both sides now until the end of this century. However, Elon Musk is right because of factors missed by Dr. Hossenfelder, namely the expansion of private space as described in The Space Trade Update. http://www.thespacetrade.com or on Nook and other online platforms and available in print on demand at Amazon.
