Now with Haas TM2P
The far future. The year 2023.
It’s been a long road to get here. we had to orbit all the way around the sun.
What am I going to focus on this year? 4 goals for a fresh orbit.
Launch Flotilla – Our presence in space is expanding. Flotilla will leverage the fast moving launch market to establish industrial economic activity in space. I’ve formed the company and I’m working on laying the knots to fit the spline of the first ship.

The last time I was drawn to write, my good friend Justin Corwin has just passed on, we were still in the midst of the pandemic that will be a defining moment for the rest of our lives.

But Tom was interested in me, and what I’d done in college ( built a humanoid robot ), so he talked my ear off for about an hour and asked me all sorts of questions about my background.
