FWIW, there’s new blog posts on what we’ve been up to at ASM over the last few months, and on some validation on our concept for doing an ISS micro reentry vehicle.

Light Blogging Hopefully Coming to an End (and 2010 review)
Posted in Administrivia on Jan 10th, 2011
This last week ended a rather crazy, but rewarding, year for me personally. Just a quick recap on what’s been going on my goofy world over the past year (some dates approximate–my current Journal only goes back to Apr 28th, and I haven’t found my box with older ones): Late Dec 2009/Apr 2010 — Was [...]
What are the Odds?
Posted in Administrivia on Dec 16th, 2010
Someone at NASASpaceflight.com dug up the predictions thread for 2010 that I apparently started on New Year’s Eve a year ago… http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=19960.0 Here were my predictions: What I think will likely happen in 2010: 1- ISS will be extended to 2020 and Shuttle only to 2011 (with one added flight) 2- Ares-I will be canceled, [...]
Space Show Appearance This Afternoon
Posted in Administrivia on Dec 13th, 2010
Just a last second reminder that I’m going to be on The Space Show this afternoon (2-3:30pm PST), talking with Dr. Livingston about my new company and what we’re up to (including info about our SBIR award). If there’s extra time, we may talk about propellant depots and other space business or space technology topics [...]
Depressing Note
Posted in Administrivia on Nov 7th, 2010
I was just looking back to see when was the last time that I had posted original technical material here (before last week’s post on xGRF). Has it really been since mid-February? That’s depressing. Anyhow, I have a provisional patent app I really need to get in this week, but once that’s over, I’m going [...]
More Posting Coming Soon
Posted in Administrivia on Oct 25th, 2010
Apologies again for the light posting, but I think things are going to improve soon. I’ll hopefully be on payroll here at Altius soon, so blogging both on the ASM Blog and here on Selenian Boondocks will be higher priorities. I’ve got several technology blog ideas to discuss over here, and I have several business [...]
Tech Patriots and Dana Rohrabacher
Posted in Administrivia on Oct 8th, 2010
This isn’t the newest of news, but I’ve been pretty busy lately so I’m trying to catch up on the blogging. Anyhow, a few weeks back, I found out that there is a movement to try and help Dana Rohrbacher move up in the Republican leadership for the space technology committee he’s currently on. Being [...]
SSI Conference
Posted in Administrivia on Oct 8th, 2010
For those of you who read Selenian Boondocks, but don’t read Hobbyspace (I’m sure there’s at least two of your out there), I wanted to mention the SSI Space Manufacturing Conference this month on the 29th-31st, at the NASA Ames Conference Center. It looks like I’ll be attending this year. SSI has been one of [...]
ASM Updates Blog and First Contract News
Posted in Administrivia, Altius Space Machines on Oct 6th, 2010
Hey guys, I finally got the update blog setup over on the Altius Space Machines site. The site still needs a lot of work, but I’ve always been one to try and put content over style. There’s a post there with the details I was promising about our first contract.
Wayne Hale’s New Blog
Posted in Administrivia, Commercial Space on Sep 24th, 2010
Just saw the news that Wayne Hale (of Space Shuttle operations fame) has a new blog up on wordpress. Wayne’s blog posts while still at NASA were always informative, and I hope now that he’s out in the private sector, he’ll be able to continue that trend. As I understand it, Wayne left NASA earlier [...]
