The Advantages
of Space Living Over Planetary Living |
This article started out as a paper for a college seminar hosted by Gerard
O'Neill, and was then later modified for a Star Trek Club Fanzine |
Crossroads |
Compares two different futures: One with space travel, and one without. |
I Have Seen the Enemy... |
Here's an article I wrote which touches on extraterrestrial conspiracies,

Dollar Challenge |
This article provides a history of skeptic James Randi's Psychic Challenge,
and the evasions of those who, judging from their claims, ought to be in
a position to win it. |

This article discusses the use of lunar resources in nearby space, and
the feasibility of lunar mass drivers. |

To what extent does planetary chauvinism bias our thinking when considering
space projects? This article illustrates this tendency with specific examples. |
