Hello Once Again,
                        Here are a few links to a few articles I wrote for the Discovery Enterprise  blog site which I share with NASA scientist Dennis Chamberland and Australian space activist Ralph Buttigieg.

My article concerning Space Pioneer Dandridge M. Cole seems to have aroused much renewed interest in his work.

  Notes & Queries 8/11/07
  American aerospace engineer Dandridge MacFarland Cole, who died just over forty years ago, was an early advocate of exploring the asteroids, advocating their eventual colonization in his book Islands in Space: The Challenge of the Planetoids. Alex Michael Bonnici takes a look at this fascinating figure, placing him in the tradition of Tsiolkovsky and Goddard as a futurist whose thinking challenged us to think big. Among his startling ideas was the use of asteroids as interstellar arks or generation ships. Bonnici’s tribute is well deserved and highly recommended.
