I started a blog because I feel like I have a lot to say, and a lot to share, with the world. I don't really know how to start a blog, so I hope you'll bear with me. I hope you think what I say is interesting.

In my life I hope to accomplish lots of things, but my greatest wish is that when God decides it's my time, I leave this world a little better than it was when I got here. I know it's a cliche. But I hope, by the grace of God or Buddha or whatever, that the world experiences a net gain from my visit here.

To that end, I am starting many websites that I think (and hope) will be of interest to people, and connecting those websites together a la Google or Windows Live. I can't tell you very much more about these sites until they come into existence lest my ideas get stolen.

I will also start a non-profit which my business will donate to for tax minimization purposes. The not-for-profit will be one-tenth wholistic homeless outreach and nine-tenths a private space program.

The non-profit will send people out to the streets to find people who need real, life-changing help. Every social service organization that I've ever seen wants to help people enough so they can say they're doing something, but they don't want to help so much that no one needs their help anymore and they can't justify their next round of funding.

My organization will be different. What I mean by 'wholistic' is that we will identify people we can help, and we will try to take care of all their needs. If someone is living on the streets because they are not skilled enough to earn the money required for living, they need training. In order to successfully complete training they need a stable, safe place to live. In order to study they need to not have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. They will study better if they are healthy. They will focus on their goal of a better life if their psychological needs are being met.

So the homeless outreach part will feed employees to my business and to its space program division, whose goal will be to make space travel available to all who want to go, no matter what socioeconomic status. I firmly believe that if we do find sites on the the Moon, Mars, and other rocky bodies where we can settle and begin seriously building metropolitan infrastructure, they will come, like the old saying goes.

I believe that by finding better ways to solve the problems of spaceflight, especially in regards to figuring out how to use scarce resources more efficiently, those solutions will be brought back to Earth to both save our environment and accommodate our huge population.

I hope I live long enough to see the first human baby born somewhere other than Earth—in orbit, on the Moon, or Mars—for then I will be able to die a happy man knowing that the immortality of my species is pretty much in the bag.

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you enjoy the ride.
