I wrote these three haiku back in 1983 in response to the Challenger disaster. They're just as appropriate now as they were then, and they go quite well with the music I improvised on my Casio WK8000 keyboard not long ago. Enjoy! And when you finish that one, here's "On Wings Like Eagles," my call to action for all you space activists and entrepreneurs. May it inspire you when you're feeling blue after a setback or frustration. Been there, done that--which is why I wrote this song after the demise of Clipper Graham. Again, enjoy! I'll have more videos later this week when I try semi-live blogging from the International Space Development Conference in Dallas, TX. Ad Astra per Levitas Nostra! Theresa

I've been waiting for ages for technology to catch up with me, and finally it has. I've just uploaded my first Music Video. It's quite primitive in that all you get are the words and the music on a nice background--but that's because I don't have a voice worth speaking of (especially after a nasty bout with a cold, bronchitis, sinusitis--you name it, I got it). This is an experiment to see how well YouTube works for hosting a variety of my videos. Enjoy! P.S. The actual video looks a lot better than the title shot YouTube picked!

...is Ba-ack! As part of my responsibilities as a member of the SSAC, I’ve submitted a paper to ISDC ’07 titled "Selling Space Out There by Selling Space Down Here: The SSTO (Save for your Seat To Orbit) Project.” In it I will show exactly how I am applying all the principles of marketing I’ve learned over the last 15 years to the problem of reaching the general public with our message that the exploration, development, and settlement of space will help them improve their lives. I’d like to ask for your help. I’ve set up a mini website called www.save4yourseat2orbit.com where people can sign up for my ezine “The View From The Top!” I’d appreciate it if you would take a look at the site and let me know the answers to the following questions: 1.) Was the site easy to reach? 2.) Was it easy to read? 3.) Did it interest you enough to sign up for the ezine? 4.) If you signed up for the ezine, ...

I got tagged by Peppermint on my Townhall blog (http://phoenix-rising.townhall.com) and had to come up with six "weird" things about myself, as well as tag six other folks. That was fun! Not only that, but it certainly got the attention of fellow bloggers about me and my work on space development and settlement, because I borrowed Don Davis' painting showing the interior of a Stanford Torus and posted it in that entry. Meanwhile, the debate over Kim Peart's proposed campaign to educate large numbers of Earth's population about the value of space development and settlement continues apace at the SSAC online. The problem was that Kim is gravely concerned about Global Warming and its likely effects on the world economy. I inadvertantly sparked a "loud" discussion about just how serious the threat from Global Warming actually is. My take is that a.) climate change happens, b.) while humankind probably has contributed something to the process, our ...

I've spent the last couple of days checking out space art on the NSS Space Art Calendar Gallery, then looked at Google Moon and Google Mars. I've added them to my list of space places, along with a site from which you can download a movie that takes you through Valles Marineris on Mars, done by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Check them out and enjoy!
