Orycon2017

I will be (was) on 4 panels at Oregon 2017. Here's some links to more content, hopefully I will not mansplain my way through so much on the panels.

• Tabby's Star

• The August 2017 Eclipse

• Space Drives

• Asteroids or Mars?

Earlier this year, I was a little bummed out that I was not given the opportunity to present long form slide explanations of new ideas in 2017, but I've been pretty busy developing those ideas. I packed rooms in 2015; many fans are (like me) tired of the S.O.S., and want something new from science fiction. Perhaps in 2018 I can better explain some of the new ideas that I will briefly mention in the 2017 panels.

If I am a party pooper about exotic scientific hypotheses, it is because startling new scientific discoveries are adequately explained by the theories we've already got. I'm an engineer. We combine newly discovered phenomena and scientific explanations to produce amazing new inventions, fringe psuedo-science is a distraction.

Here's my presentations at Orycon 2015
