No lost in space for them or me

April 3, 2012

Where are we supposed to meet? Here or down at the outfitters? Beats me was the answer…again. I was with a group of speakers at a conference, and we were headed to the speaker’s dinner at the Sami camp. The Sami are the native people who live above the arctic circle in Lapland. They are […]

Who knows?

December 27, 2011

Who knows?

Who knows? You might end up in space. That was the closing line in a recent Wall. Street Journal written by Mary Kissel. She interviewed Richard Branson recently to discuss his new book, “Screw Business as Usual”. Now that the 2011 International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight (ISPCS) is done, we are focusing on […]

Cube-Sats- small satellites for the common man

Maybe you do this – work on the weekends because it is fun. Sometimes I enjoy taking my time to read through the emails my colleagues purposely save for the weekend. That way we can savor good news and accomplishments. Here is a great accomplishment; Montana State University, Auburn Utah State and Michigan State launched […]

The Spaceport Directors

The Spaceport Directors

This is a multiple choice question. The reason I was late for my telecom last Thursday was (a) I forgot how to get to the office (b) the dog hid my keys (c) there was a snake in my living room. It was 6:30am, I was leaving the house to run, and there it was.  […]

The Four Agreements

July 25, 2011

The Four Agreements

A few months ago my daughter gave me the book, The Four Agreements. Until I read this book, I never thought about the agreements I made with myself when I was young.
