Sir, don't be dismayed to see how little information there is on the internet. Despite that, I hope you totally understand my need for anonymity. Assuming that the technology is as effective as I say it is, releasing it to the public in all its splendor could make the world think that a) I am off my rocker, b) that I'm completely wrong or c) just some sci-fi aficionado who's gone a bit too far. Sad state of affairs, but hey, that's the price of true innovation right? http://nlspropulsion.net Regards, The Inventor Dear Fellow Scientist,

This is an interesting can of worms, private-sector settlement of another planet. There will be some interesting have and have not debates regarding space-faring states and non-spacefaring and i guess with no state territory allowed as present socialist countries are discriminated against a little. As long as a future big company can't claim say "ALL OF MARS" then that seems fair enough although there could be serious inter company battles to consider over particularly juicy bits and bobs. I don't know about the non-taxation of space companies though, if the operation starts to become profitable then they could have write offs for the formative years where losses were inevitable but after that capitalism is about profit and in life there is always death and taxes. Taxin the profit on the materials produced by space companies seems fair to me. Wish you all the best though with your occupation, very few of us regular citizens ever strike something so exciting and meaningful as this venture is (unless were in the clergy or something) Wow!

I will write about things at best tangentially during the actual Gen II study period, but after that's over I'm sure that I will be able to discuss things in more detail. Paul, thanks for the invitation to write a guest piece for Centauri Dreams. I'll put together some thoughts when I get a chance and send you an email. I'll also keep one eye open for any subjects that would be of particular interest to your readership. Thanks!

Please keep us advised and if you get the chance, consider writing something on this for Centauri Dreams. Would love to have your thoughts on settlements in extreme environments any time.
