"If gravity dictates that no family unit of any type will ever live anywhere but Earth, an age-old question will be answered. Humanity has no place in the universe and will forever more be represented by nothing more than billions of sentient beings on a tiny blue and white ball, endlessly bickering over water and dirt." For almost 100 years, it has been taken for granted that space travel would come some day. There has been another assumption embedded in that expectation; families would be a part of settling the "final frontier" in the same fashion as our ancestors. Unfortunately, our...

This brief book is a call to common sense on issues of import for centuries to come. Politics have dictated the position NASA takes on almost every issue. The position of the Administration and the funding from the Congress have dictated decisions and actions that no good engineer could arrive at. It is time for a change. The author is a retired scientist and engineer with strong credentials and a heartfelt desire to see NASA step up to addressing the gravity issues, something that they have refused to do for 45 years. Drugs and exercise are not the answer for a three year trip to Mars.

Gravity is both friend and foe. Without it, none of us or the world we know would exist. Gravity holds the atmosphere to the Earth and keeps us from flying off into space. Up and down are defined by this mysterious force that continues to defy understanding. Oh, we know how to calculate weight and we know how fast things fall and all of that, but no one, absolutely NO ONE has a clue as to what makes it work. And yet, gravity has controlled our species and its predecessors for untold eons, and it will continue to do so into the foreseeable future. Humanity is on the verge of attempting to...

Life on Earth is becoming more difficult as the 23RD century dawns. The Alliance of nations that established the settlements on Mars has dwindled in number as economic woes spread. Emigration to Mars has ceased. Rare elements on Earth critical to governments and industries are being depleted rapidly, and Mars is becoming an indispensable source. Rivalries are reborn between nations and companies, and as always, there are those who stand ready to capitalize on the situation regardless of the cost. The first generation of those born on Mars are faced with critical decisions that will determine...

Paris Bresneva was a Martian with no obligations and one simple need - a job that paid enough to keep him in happy beer and occasional female companionship. He planned to look for such a job when the meager inheritance from his mother was gone, and there was a good chance that Paris would have lived happily ever after if he had done that, but he did not. The opportunity to be a genuine spy for the government had too much appeal to his inner child. Thus began his strange odyssey to become the first sniper on the Red Planet. The major nations of Earth and the settlements of Mars were on a...
