I’ve always been a space cadet. Images from Apollo 8 and Apollo 11 burned themselves indelibly in my mind when I was very young. In between Apollo 8 and Apollo 11, the immortal film 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur Clarke also burned itself indelibly in my mind. I’ve always been persuaded that colonizing space is not only our right, but also our destiny and our duty. I’ve written a book about this.

Greetings to all readers and subscribers, and special greetings to the paid subscribers!Some updates:I want to do more video and audio podcasts. I am not good at solo monologues, so I prefer conversations. Many podcasts will be interviews and conversations with guests (like the last one and the next one) about their ideas. I prefer to have co-hosts also to discuss my own ideas and for general chats about life, the universe and everything.
