As an author and journalist I am excited by advances in science, technology and space travel in particular. This website gives me the opportunity to publish some of my thoughts on these mind-boggling themes. The articles published here range through ‘Disasters Real and Feared’ to ‘Cosmos of Life and Death’ and much more.

I will be delighted to answer your questions - use the Contact Me option - I will publish a response to your enquiry on this website only if you request it

otherwise I will reply in private.
Faster than Light?  NEW
Far out at the edges of the solar system, the motions of two spacecraft, Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11, appear to be breaking all known laws of physics.
Arrogant Experts
How many times in history has "mainstream scientific opinion'' turned out to be wrong? If the judgement of experts had been accurate, then the Earth would be flat, the Atlantic would be infinite and unnavigable, the stars would be equidistant from us; and radio communication, photography, nuclear energy, motor cars, aviation and space travel would all be impossible.
The New Space Race
No longer will space missions depend on the "political will'' or the votes of often self-interested politicians
The Immortal Race
When I tell people that I write about the future, they often reply in a puzzled fashion: "Future? Do you think we have one?'' The imminent doom of humanity, from one mysterious cause or another, is seen as inescapable
The DC3 of Space
Imagine the ideal manned spaceship. It would take off and land horizontally, like an aircraft. It would reach orbit at about a fiftieth of the cost per pound weight of the space shuttle. And having returned to Earth, it could be readied for another mission in hours rather than months.
