Long-time space settlement advocate. I am particularly interested in how we pay for and benefit from space settlements. My chief interest now is the planets Mercury and Venus (hence the 'MercuryPlus' name) and how they could accelerate our space agenda.

My other interests include gardening/canning, baseball and politics. . . though not necessarily in that order. I also study Russian language.

I am also a cancer survivor (leukemia, CML) but have been cancer-free for almost five years now:-)
