Bergmann's L5 Orbitat (The Bergmann Series) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Bergmann's Team designs a simple cylindrical orbitat habitat they will build at the L5 Lagrange point trailing the Moon.

They will use the Banderat spaceplane, Accelerator, they bought at Baldon to facilitate assembly of Bergmann's Orbitat.

The orbitat will be spun on its long axis to about 0.5 G so humans will not be debilitated by zero-G conditions.

BVI will offer orbital tourism to help pay for the exploration of the Lunar surface and later, Mars.

Autorenporträt

George Pinneo, an Army-brat, lived in 4 states and 8 different locations during WWII. He grew up in NW Ohio, graduating from Case Institute of Technology with a BSChE in 1959. His technical career spans 59 years of experience: front-end wafer fab microelectronics, diode laser and hybrid packaging with a focus on fully hermetic package design and manufacture. Along the way he was the fourth founder in a successful article surveillance start-up in Hollywood FL. This entrepreneur loves to hear the phrase: 'you can't do that'! And then to do it, of course! One of his specialties is fluxless, fully hermetic, hard soldering for microelectronic packages.

Family vacations have taken the Pinneos through Canada to Alaska, Hawaii, into Mexico and the Caribbean with sojourns to Western Europe, New Zealand and parts of Australia. A recent trip took them through Baltic Europe to visit the cities of the Hanse.

So far they've visited 18 Caribbean islands, 7 Canadian provinces, 49 of the 50 states and 11 Mexican estados. Another trip took them through Andalucia, where they stood on top of the Rock and gazed across the Med at the mountains rising in Morocco, some 8 miles south beyond the coast of North Africa. And then they visited the ancient city of Tangiers!

They have no intention of visiting North Dakota. The family lives up on the Mogollon Rim of Arizona. Recent summer vacations have taken them from Arizona to British Columbia, Vancouver Island and across the Mid-West to Michigan's UP and into Ontario to visit Toronto.

At the age of 55 he earned a private pilot's license and then built an all-metal, 2 seat 'homebuilt experimental' airplane, which he has spent 23 years 'refining'. Other hobbies include woodturning, sailing, canoeing, black powder cannon, hiking and jewelry making, especially the casting of silver and bronze pendants.

His notions of what constitutes good science fiction includes realistic engineering principles based on hard scientific fact, extended in a linear manner. Philosophically, good SF should teach not only new words, but new concepts. Interspecies contact is especially prized. SF should be uplifting, enlightening and sometimes romantic. He does not write fantasy, which, by definition is unreal.
