Produktbeschreibung

This book approaches in novel form what steps Humanity needs to take to become a more than single planet species so we humans don't become extinct. The dinosaurs didn't have a Space Program. Picture a Tyrannosaurus in a space suit. It uses current and projected developments to advance into low Earth orbit, the Moon and the Lagrangian balanced gravity points. A small dedicated crew of explorers advance beyond earth orbit to Mars, the Asteroid Belt and dwarf planet Ceres. On an exploration of Jupiter's Trojan points in search of geologic resources they discover something that leads them eventually to a Star Gate. Established Scientists keep telling them what they are doing can't be done, but then take credit for their accomplishments.

Autorenporträt

The author was raised in orphanages and foster homes with four siblings where he learned the value of hard work for money and independence. In a one-room schoolhouse he daydreamed about space while the teacher was with other grades. He was told in middle school that he could never go to college because his family was too poor. That just made him more determined. As a teenager he worked delivering newspapers, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, shining shoes and any job he could get to contribute to the family until he could join the Navy. An all expense paid tour of the western Pacific on an Aircraft Carrier introduced him to other cultures. Upon being honorably discharged from the Navy he worked two jobs, or one job and College classes, to eventually get a BS in Physics and an MBA after nine years. He eventually retired after stints working on the Space Shuttle, Administrator of the Space Sciences Laboratory and instructing at Technical Colleges.
