Produktinformationen zu „Life Force Mars (ePub)“
Tim, Joan, Rob and Mary worked for NASA. Using robotics and with JPL support they made site discovery, developed and then traveled to Mars in Ares rockets. They move into an incomplete habitat on Mars that was built with native resources. They then proceed to expand it into a home. They use marscrete thermite-fused building blocks to line excavated tunnels and domed rooms inside of a meteor impact crater similar to Meteor Crater east of Flagstaff , AZ. They assemble a powerful nuclear power plant and convert the thin Mars atmosphere and subterranean water into breathable air and fuel. They carry seed plants and animals to form a biological environment. Enmeshed in this outline is a dramatic, demanding, adventurous, heart warming, human story of survival in the ultimate harsh environment a hundred million miles from home. The depicted places and place names and topography and environment of Mars are real. All equipment is realistic. The cosmic environment is real. The characters are all fictional. The time is today.
Autoren-Porträt von Bert Tucker
Bert Tucker holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering from West Point (1956) and a master’s degree plus in physics and mathematics from Louisiana State University (1964), including an experimental and theoretical thesis on the fluid dynamics of superfluid liquid helium under a grant from NASA. He was a lieutenant and captain in the Corps of Engineers, engineer company commander (Germany, 1960), airfield operations officer (Fort Polk, 1961–62), and served as an airplane pilot, helicopter pilot, and helicopter instructor pilot. He was an FAA-qualified commercial pilot and was qualified as a military parachutist. He participated in a course presented by senior NASA instructors on the design of early spacecraft and implementation of the then new Apollo project while he was a graduate student at LSU. No missions have carried men beyond Earth orbit since the Apollo project sent the first men to the moon. For further background, see the acknowledgments.
He worked with and consulted to Wall Street firms for more than a quarter century. He developed and managed the data quality of financial market data systems that employed early global satellite communication systems, acquiring data from one hundred exchanges around the world. He pioneered early derivative securities reporting methodologies. He developed systems to calculate many instantaneous, complex market data indices. He developed encryption methods to secure proprietary market data.
He is a member of the West Point Society of the Mid Hudson Region and was the chair of a series of seven West Point conferences on leadership and ethics development for high school students sponsored by the WPSMHR. He is a member of the Wayne, New Jersey Rotary Club and has served as chair for Rotary District 7490 for ten leadership and ethics conferences sponsored by numerous Rotary Clubs. The seventeen conferences were presented by West Point officers and cadets who were leaders in the West Point Cadet Honor and Respect programs.
