Now that I have some free time, I can finally update this blog. 
So yeah… I’ve been absent for quite some time. I’ve come back to update this space…I’m hoping to have some interesting space experiences in 2014, so we’ll see. Coming up soon, we can expect the SpaceX CRS-3 launch (March 16). I’m hoping to make it there in some capacity that weekend; there is nothing like seeing a launch, and I haven’t seen one since 2012.
   
So welcome back, and I hope to bring you some content (photos, experiences, rants, meanderings, and the stupid stuff people have come to know from me) very soon. Stay tuned, and let’s make 2014 a great year!

These books are multiplying like flies, so space settlement advocates must be gaining ground to generate such an abundant response.
