He is a partner of Zodiac Planetary Services and has been advocating and leading research on the feasibility and execution of the space elevator concept for decades. An accomplished engineer, university lecturer and academic, he has published a phenomenal amount of research on easier access to orbit as well as the solar system and sits on the board of engineering and space science for several universities. He formerly built and launched satellites commercially and lectures globally on the space elevator concept. He owns several patents in space engineering.

He has co-authored the book ""Road to the Space Elevator era": Space Elevator Books — International Space Elevator Consortium

He introduces the concept and answers my questions on the concept of space elevators. Enjoy!
