SETG - Search for Extraterrestrial Garbage - Using Earth's satellite debris accumulation history as search pattern for technical signature of exocivilizations. Drafted before the pandemic. Added to UCLA Reading List (2023). NASA Validation (2025) - Rated novel & candidate for JWST program. 

Proposing the restructuring of outer space treaties: To permit the creation of off-Earth Sovereign Alliances' territorial divisions - To create property rights - To de-risk creation of the trading webs we need...To de-risk the multi-planet expansion of human civilization. 1p summary written at request of French space lawyer.

Trained to systematically perform high-risk tasks, veterans are natural candidates for spaceflight. The amputee mission specialist has an unusual competitive edge => Leglessness in microgravity => Lower mass = less oxygen, food, water needed => Reduced suit complexity (40% fewer apertures) => Raising the question: "Aren't two-legged mission specialists naturally less abled ?"

The assignment? Take a contrarian view:  "Is there a better cost structure for NASA?"

Could it be better to focus on space science, and assign spaceflight services to the private sector?

ESViSiPA "Shieldships" - Steerable fuel source transport network. Comets & Asteroids already orbit the Sun—Could we use their Delta-V as fuel, to create system-wide cycler transport networks? [Concept paper developed for industrial design college application: The transports are called Shieldships (referencing the ablative armour englobing the steerable fuel source) => The fuel of a chemical launch vehicle is available once. A Comet Cycler is a steerable fuel source that delivers thrust for centuries. Once you stabilize a comet's orbit and shield it, it keeps cycling naturally.  The delta-V is conserved. You capture it once and use it forever.]
