Evoloterra On The Space Show
Our discussion from Sunday afternoon is now on line.
Ed McCullough
Just heard via Dennis Wingo that my former colleague at Rockwell has died. He, Bob Waldron and I were working lunar ISRU in the early 90s, during the SEI scare. Condolences to his other friends and family. We’re losing a lot of visionary people, just as we’re finally on the verge of breaking out.

Finally, we have this comment, which seems gratuitous and almost a non sequitur in the context of this article:

What might it look like?
Still not clear to me that NASA will be the one to do it.
