About Me

I've been interested in space travel since watching Apollo 10 circle the moon the spring of 1969. Somehow as a child I always thought we'd have a space station and lunar base by the early 1980s with man on Mars within the decade of that; I envisioned myself as a spacecraft pilot, ferrying passengers to and fro between Luna, Mars and the asteroid belt. But shortsightedness and a general ignorance of science have left our space program years behind where it should be. These days, I'm a journalist, editing the daily newspaper in Santa Clarita, Calif., one of the nation's most naturally beautiful communities. It's a fulfilling and rewarding job - but on a clear night gazing across the canyon skies, the stars still beckon. This blog is a serious site attempting to advance astrobiology - it's not about UFOs or meeting spiritual denizens of the Fifth Dimension. At the same time, it will be free enough to allow our imaginations, within the boundaries of sound science, to roam. Hopefully, it will inspire others to reach for the stars, so today's child, gazing at the night sky and dreaming of adventures amid the stars will find as an adult that such journeys are reality.
