Quiet Evangelism: Nothing but the Rain
http://quietevangelism.blogspot.com/2013/02/nothing-but-rain.html
In which I write about things I find interesting. Sunday, February 17, 2013. Nothing but the Rain. As atypical as the weather was in Seattle, it was much more out of the ordinary in Chelyabinsk than anywhere else on Earth. The largest meteoroid to collide with Earth since the Tunguska Event. About asteroid defense, now that we have the technology to make it happen? There are many credible options on the table for how to deflect a large object on a collision course with Earth so long as we have a few year...

Quiet Evangelism: Seven Days in the Garden
http://quietevangelism.blogspot.com/2012/12/seven-days-in-garden.html
In which I write about things I find interesting. Monday, December 31, 2012. Seven Days in the Garden. For obvious reasons, I didn't take this picture. It was taken by a person who was living on a space station at the time. I took the rest of the pictures in this post. The traveler is offered a choice driving through Waimea. Proceed north on 550 and the road climbs the western rim of Waimea Canyon. Go west on 50 and it curves north along the coast to the end of the line. Waimea Canyon is the ...Life Star...

Profiles of our future in space: The hanging gardens of space
http://futurespaceprofiles.blogspot.com/2011/07/hanging-gardens-of-space.html
Profiles of our future in space. Monday, July 4, 2011. The hanging gardens of space. Will hang from the axis of rotation. It will make far more sense to support structures and surfaces as directly from that axis as is possible, as that'll reduce the amount of weight required, both because it's a more direct way of transferring loads, and because structures built under tension are far lighter than structures built under compression.

Quiet Evangelism: December 2014
http://quietevangelism.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
In which I write about things I find interesting. Friday, December 26, 2014. To Awaken on Saturday. The Gospels of the New Testament are rich in parables but often terse when it comes to the details of the events they describe. We're given much detail on what Jesus told his disciples in the form of prayer and advice and stories but often the events that happened are reduced to the driest accounts of their facts. A thing happened, we're told, and here's what it was. I think I know something like this in m...

Quiet Evangelism: August 2012
http://quietevangelism.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
In which I write about things I find interesting. Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Last week I made the decision to withdraw from my MS program in aerospace engineering at Texas A&M to pursue full-time work in the Structural Test Laboratory at Boeing in Tukwila, Washington. This delays but does not eliminate the day when I earn an advanced degree in engineering. There are a number of reasons (good) why this is happening. Monday, August 6, 2012. Wheels on the Ground. First, the video from Earth:. Is now safely o...

Profiles of our future in space: August 2011
http://futurespaceprofiles.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Profiles of our future in space. Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Morality is a product of evolution, it’s a characteristic that all social animals have, and that solitary animals do not have. The foundations of morality are based in our instincts, social moral codes are built on top of these more basic, instinct based, codes. Greater wealth also means that the cost of expensive and destructive practices by those within the group are more affordable to the group as a whole, for this reason divisive and destructi...

Profiles of our future in space: Interplanetary Flight Times.
http://futurespaceprofiles.blogspot.com/2011/06/interplanetary-flight-times.html
Profiles of our future in space. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Too often when we talk about future interplanetary flight we assume the trajectories used will be Hohman transfer orbits, elliptical orbits that intersect of both the orbit of departure and the destination tangentially, in the case of Mars this involves flight times of around 250 days. But even with todays chemical rockets the mass ratios for flight times of 150 days. June 23, 2011 at 4:37 PM. June 23, 2011 at 6:45 PM. June 24, 2011 at 12:46 PM.
