Year In Review — 2022 🔭
Thank you for your support!
It’s exactly one year since I published my first article. To put words out in the public domain has been a unique experience for me. But after completing 11 chapters in the main series and several random tidbits, this has also been a personally rewarding experience.
List of what I have written so far and what I plan to add
History & Background
- 1: Traveling long distance — Humanities journey into Space
- 2: Start with Why? — Goals, hopes & blueprint
- 3: Skeptics & Agnostics — Cultivating our scientific curiosity
- 4: Past — We took to the sky
- 5: The Dancing Traveller — Democratizing air travel
- More basic concepts
Great Minds

- 7: Newton & his Orbits

Future

- More to come!
No doubt I have made it this far with a lot of support & encouragement. There have been few surprises. Going into this project, I knew it was going to be difficult picking specific pieces from the long form story I had been writing for a while. As I realized later, anything over 5 minute read isn’t consumable by most readers. Then, there were parts of the story that I had not put together completely. So I spent more time rewriting and researching than I originally expected.
The biggest thing has been finding my voice. Writing for an unknown reader is a daunting challenge for any writer. Creating and maintaining a coherent story throughout the series is another challenge. I don’t know if it all makes sense, direct feedback from a few has been invaluable. Mainly from my wife, who has edited all of the articles.
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy & joyful year ahead 🥂
